The body of the piece consists of two pangrams, which are sentences that use every letter of the alphabet at least once. I transposed the binary representations of ASCII characters onto 3-2-3 (8-bit) characters in the maille, then made the least significant bit an odd parity bit, meaning that every character has an odd number of gold rings-- usually 3 or 5. So 'A' is represented by
1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 in odd-parity binary ASCII which translates in mail as

1 0 0
. 0 0
0 1 1
