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.

Never fear.  You have the right myth.  Tim Powers has also explored this
territory, most notably in _On Stranger Tides_, which is about Blackbeard
and voodoo and certain interesting spots in Florida.
