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.

I was under the impression that Nessus was below the equator, and that
one had to travel north to reach the hot jungles at "the waist of the
Urth". Urth's magnetic fields may have flipped several times, but I
don't think that civilization would globally agree to swap the
designations "north" and "south" at those times.
