PUZZLE: Possibly from Mos? (5/24)

[Muffin]

Just a quick look, wish I could do more but have to work

Looks like the code is two letter chunks, only found 22 so far (you can see where I have got to) - please continue and crack!

Frequency analysis of the digraphs for the not so faint at heart:

[Giskard]

The lower case letters in the text spell out 'hello'. As I'm not too good in the code-cracking department (heh, now there's an understatement ) I'd like to point out that this might just be a thing to draw our attention and keep us occupied, i.e. maybe it's a fake code/prank

[Muffin]

My lunch consisted of working on this and eating

Couple of letters (the obvious ones):

AE = E
AZ = T
XY = A
CV = H

I think...

[Shelina]

[Muffin]

There are quite a few "THE" further down...

screen shot of progress so far below - I can mail the excel to interested persons.

Don't know if this is right, since I'm horrible at puzzles, but the two character cipher is called a digraph cipher andhere is a site. Nothing makes sense in this puzzle if this is the correct one to use.

For example, the first line would be:

Cipher text - XY IU CB DY AE LO AZ AE CH CV KL PZ AZ PZ NV AE
Plain text - MH VM PF QI NC YS NH NC PZ PL XV CH NH CH AL NC

So maybe we are just supposed to see the "hello". And are to take Marcus's warning of "Don't look at this too long I don't think it will take us very far."

*Edit - I like route Muffin is taking, so I'll shut up.

[Mos]

I've been framed, damnit! Framed!

[Giskard]

Maybe I should post part of the headers here, as they contain some extra information, that information being the people the mail was addressed to (blanked out a little to prevent spamming) and the subject line:

[Muffin]

Can someone clean this up - I have to leave soon and I want you to all see this before I do!

I think some (small bit) of it is still wrong, but am short of time...

My first solve!

[Giskard]

[Muffin]

Here goes...

Thanks!
