apology

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.

 Folks,

 I'm writing to apologize in advance for a pointless note that I'll be
sending to some of you.  I'm going on vacation for a week, and have (I
hope) set my mail program to generate an automatic response to all incoming
mail.  The program I'm using, however, won't allow me to exclude certain
classes of message, so that anyone who writes to me will get the response
whether they should or not.  I have, however, set the device to generate
only one response per correspondent, rather than one response to each
message.  So I'm sorry for sending you the pointless note, but at least
you'll only see it once.

 Mark Millman
