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.

Quill just prodded me into a new thought:

Remember the little statues of Sphigx for sale in the Viron marketplace, by
which Crane sends his spy messages to Trivigaunte? Well, those statues are
actually *illegal* in Trivigaunte because of their no-image ruling!
