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.

Six years--gosh, are we all six years older? Surely not! Post the list,
Nigel, for the Web is six thousand times bigger than it was six years ago
and I will do a search. (I've been singing "Abdul Abulbul Amir" all
afternoon after getting the words and tune off Google--do not forget, my
friends, that the sons of the prophet are brave men and bold.)
