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 don't have the books handy, but I have a vague recollection that Ymar 
doesn't get distinguished as the *first* Autarch until UOTNS. (Or no?) If 
that's right, then I think this is just another place in which UOTNS is a 
new story, "based on" but not exactly a direct extension of, or intended to 
be totally consistent with New Sun.
