Raven, I would suggest you add the email contents to the contributors [1] section of the wiki. I agree with you that we will be modifying their data by not using their tags and adding ours. I would recommend making a note of that on the wiki.
I am happy to help you get started with your import. If you have time, we could do a video chat to go over how I do imports and what would work best for you. Please email me off line with some time frames that would work for you.
