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.

Re: non-Christian Religion in SF.  Well, before I look at the
encycopedia, DUNE obviously.  And Zelazny stuff, like LORD OF LIGHT
(Hindu) and CREATURES OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS (ancient Egyptian).  And
a trilogy based upon the (modern synthetic) Scandinavian (Finnish?)
epic poem that starts with a "K"(?).

Hmm.  Encyclopedia not much help at the moment.  The "Religion"
section is mainly re: Christian.  I'm not looking hard enough.
