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.

Have any of Horn's dreams in OBW turned out to be prophetic yet?  I
remember thinking that Horn spent rather a lot of time telling us his
dreams, and none of them had any obvious relevance (except for the one
in the pit which may have been Silk resurrecting him).  But I only read
the book once, so I could be wrong.
