OK, well if that translation is correct then... who are we looking for?
Is this Azrael saying this?
Or someone who hijacked his email and is this the name that emailed the doc?

wouldn't know what to say.. but the "where am i" part suddenly jumped me while i was trying to sleep
the 'different' thing about this azrael is the "in.heaven" part of the address... so could where have something to do with that (or even in.hell if we're assume it's a daemon counterpart to the azrael.in.heaven)
i also wonder if we could try an alternative addy - eg azrael.in.hell @ gmail.com because he said not to use this one...? i'll leave it to someone who's previously made contact to try tho
-peter
EDIT: sent a brief email to azrael.in.hell myself, will let u know what comes of it - but it hasn't bounced yet, so there might be something in it...

Well, if Hell doesn't work, we can always try .on.earth or something...
<edit>
Ok, I'm going to try a simple 'where are you?' in morse and see if that works...

Just got another email from azrael.in.heaven...
4d6f72652068656176656e6c79207468616e2068656c6cd

a546f20616c6c2074686520686f737420616e67656c6963
It looks like some kind of encoding...but all I know is what binary looks like!

It is hex:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
4d6f7265 20 68656176656e6c79 20 7468616e 20 68656c6c da

546f 20 616c6c 20 746865 20 686f7374 20 616e67656c6963
is hex ascii for:
--More heavenly than hell
More earthly than heaven
Where I am is unknown
To all the host angelic--
'20' is hex for a space and 'da' is hex for return (I believe) which is why I broke it up that way.
Im thinking purgatory?

I'm thinking this is probably a riddle...it has that feel to it.
It's something that none of the angels know where it is, between earth and heaven...purgatory sounds about right. Anyone care to ask an Angel if there is a purgatory?

Any idea how to decode this one?
