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.

Thank you for that Matthew.

Now, is there anyone who would be so kind as to translate all the Latin
bits in "The Haunted Boardinghouse"? [I know that some of it is explained
in context, but I can't come up with a good guess for some of the phrases
towards the end].
