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.

In fact, it seems more than just plausible that Smoky's middle initial
doesn't stand for anything--remember that he wears "A Suit of
Truman's" to be married in and that the 'S' in Harry S. Truman is
without further signification.  I think that's the solution to
the middle initial mystery.
