Why were they non searchable? I'm a little confused, would love to help search thru them, but are you saying these weren't on wikileaks?

They were available on Wikileaks but weren't accessible via search engine AFAIK so had to be found manually i.e. by entering ID numbers between the searchable e-mails into web address. There are still 4 that can't be found

I looked thru a few so far, pretty sure I have seen these before tho. Email #55900 translated says "History of the Qing Dynasty" the attachment is Chinese art that is quite beautiful. But I am pretty positive I saw this email before, bc I remember the art.

Not sure if it's relevant, but 紅顏薄命 roughly means "beautiful woman with a terrible lot in life".

The title of the file is perhaps closer translated as "Ill-fated Beauties -- A Tragic History of the Qing Dynasty.ppt" (Or "Qing Palace").

I only did the interpretation of the subject line and the body, not the file name, so you may be right, but the stuff I translated did not have anything to do with beauty. And when I say the stuff I translated, what I am really saying is I copied and pasted it into google translate 😁😁😁

Yeah, these are not new to me. Still worth a look!

Glad I looked bc I was lookin for the one email a while back and it was in there.
