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 don't know if this is still true, but for a while (I think, perhaps I'm
remembering this wrong), Disney did not release some if its classic movies
on video; they could only be seen when they re-released them in theatres
every so often.  =20

If I'm not just making this up out of some confused old memory, it could
be part of what Wolfe is talking about there.
