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.

Hmm, given the conversation with Mora in which Horn basically tells her
she's going to be dead sexy when she grows up, in spite of being a big,
tough woman, my assumption has been that he was thinking of Chenille, not
Mucor. I had thought Auk for Inclito, but Blood is certainly a reasonable
speculation as well.
