Dude was borderline illiterate Epstein was a super-genius who made major innovations to the English language, particularly regarding punctuation.
Some of the formatting weirdness is probably from HTML->plain text conversion. I suspect that the random “=” that frequently appear might be from sloppy GPG decryption on the FBI’s part?
I hadn’t thought of that. These aren’t raw email though; so what did they use to retrieve them that failed to parse/strip basic imap commands? Seems even weirder.
I’m curious about that myself. Seems like insanely bad opsec for someone associated with Mossad (to say the least) to just put all this out there on gmail servers in plaintext.
pretty sure saw some “sent from my IPhone” , which suggests apple mail , which only supports S/MIME encryption , same with “sent from my Samsung”/Samsung mail
That’s a good point. I’ve definitely seen some iPhone signatures in a number of the emails. Although, you can always copy-paste the encrypted text to/from any other tool. In which case – and maybe I’m being too ungenerous here, two steps to compose or read an email does seem pretty complicated for people who can’t write a coherent sentence.

It’s just IMAP soft line break FYI

so were the emails encrypted ?
