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 thought the Triviguantis were more Arab or Persian than Indian. They
at least show Islamic survivals, wherever they are from.  For example,
their symbol is a red triangle, "because Sphigx won't let them use
images."  They are monotheists (more or less, worshipping only or mostly
Sphigx). Their names and the little bits of their language that we hear
are more like Arabic than Hindi, as well.
