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.

I just read this story from Greg Ketter's Shelf Life anthology (rare
book lovers, N.B. the title).  Good, solid Wolfe, with an amusing pun
which is also a clue.  It's also another example of GW's love for
telling stories within the story; what's more, the stories are all from
a brown book (!) containing "tales of wonder!"  Recommended.
