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.

Considering the references to houses, and that Wolfe originally wanted 
to use the name "hushog" (I don't know who pointed that out), meaning 
house-pig, I'd say that case is nailed shut. And it strengthens your 
idea that What was left of Horn went into Babbie, and possibly even my 
idea that 2 other versions of Horn went into Babbie as well to fulfill 
the prophecy. Why invent a "house" and only use it once?
