Technical Difficulties - Please Stand By

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.

It might help if everyone would please turn off their MIME or "rich text"
abilities in favor of ""plain text" for Urth messages--you, Ratty, are a
sinner here--as are, more forgivably, the newbies. All that formatting takes
up a lot of space.
