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.

I will on my next re-read of Short Sun, probably next year, pay careful attention to hints that he is or is not a neighbor, but I am still sticking with the external neighbor Horn paradigm for now as something distinct from the resurrected Horn, I need to look at the text holistically again.
