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.

That's what one would think, but Severian doesn't mention that the prisoner=

are xanthoderms, something which he would probably consider worth mentionin=

because it doesn't look like he has seen any in the Commonwealth. (In fact,=20
the only place I can find the word "xanthoderm" in the BotNS proper is Fath=

Inire's Letter).
