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.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, several of you. I have a thought
about Horn's eating habits, which certainly puzzled me too on first
reading. It's awfully Wolfean. The fact is that the Horn body was
sturdier, stockier and needed more food than the Silk body. Horn's
habits and appetites remain as they were, but he must consciously curb
them in his new body, or he would soon be overweight. But he DOES eat,
unlike Fava, sweet little bean.
