This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Correct.

I think it's a common idiom. 'I feel (...) that you're really my older
sister' doesn't mean Mint thinks Chenille is her sister, but simply that
Chenille evokes in Mint the same feelings an older sister would. People do
speak that way.

It *could* be a hint that Chenille is her sister, of course, if it lead to
somewhere or something led to it (I'm not saying it doesn't).
