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.

Maybe Silk killed her in a fight?  It would explain the broken furniture,
and the cuts on his arms could be scratches.  I think if we understood
what Wolfe was trying to get at with this relationship we'd understand
more about its end.
