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 *really* liked this one, and there is so much packed into its shorter length (*An Evil Guest*, *The Sorcerer's House*, and *Home Fires*are all longer) that it has me asking way more questions than I was expecting. It will be a great book to dissect on the list.
