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.

But still, the fact that they would remember that ancient name from our time
is staggering and improbable. I still think Kim Lee Soong was a sailor who
returned to Urth at just about the same time Jonas did, which would have put
him in the Monarchy/Autarchy.
