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.

This is cool, but I still can't figure out the ending of Wolfe's version
of the story.  It seems to be some sort of joke or clever twist of
wordplay, but I can't figure out what it means.  Anyone?
