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.

	It might be - I'm afraid that I'm a bit weak on that part of
history. (That was the war between the houses of Lancaster & York,
right?)

	Maybe I'm reading too much in to _Pandora_, but there seem to
be two puns referring to the same genre of popular music.
