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.

Since Michael has been sent from Kleos, that is surely to where they are
going. The "great knight", Sir Able of the High Heart, did not yet exist
when Able first met Michael. First Able had to win his sword, spend 20 years
in Skai, and free Mythgarthr and Aelfrice from the tyranny of their "lower
dragons'.
