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.

Yes, you are right. The mate herb, used fot the
so-called mate tea and the strongest, bitter
"chimarr=C3=A3o", is a plant from South America. The use of
the "bomba" ("pump"), or metal straw is caracteristic
from Southern Brazil, Northern Argentina and (I think)
some Andean countries, too. The bomba is used when
people consume chimarr=C3=A3o in a more traditional
fashion.
