I can understand why this writer chose to remain anonymous. The Klingon is
REALLY BAD. The subject header is impenetrable gibberish. I'm guessing it
was supposed to be {Hoch waw'meylIj DIjeyta'}
Perhaps we should report them as making "inappropriate use" of the
anonymous Email.

A year is not a place. It doesn't take {Daq}. {taghtaH} is an interesting
verb and suffix combination worthy of philosophical exploration. Likely,
{taghtaH veS} suffers from word order reversal, since most likely {veS} is
the process which is begun and not the entity beginning an unnamed process.
> HoD: nuq qaS?
Reversed word order.
> yaS: jorwI' macherbeHlu'pu'
{ma-lu'} is a meaningless combination of affixes. The {-beH} requires that
the subject of the verb is a device. I'm guessing that the intended text
was something like {jorbeH jan. wIcherta'.}
> yaS: marI'lu'
Again, {ma-lu'} is gibberish. {wIrI'lu'}.
> HoD: nuq !
> yaS: chu' jIH'a'
I'm guessing the word order is wrong. {jIH'a' chu'} could be clipped for
{jIH'a' yIchu'!} Right now, it means something like "The major display
engages (something)."

Gibberish.
> CATS: QIH DaghoS
This is perhaps an interesting way of saying, "You are on the path to
distruction."
> HoD: Dajatlh nuq !!
Either this is a direct quote to the effect of: "You say it, 'What?'" or
the word order or prefix is hosed. Better to just say {nuqjatlh?}
> CATS: DuHbe' SutaH poHraj yIta'
More jibberish. I see three main verbs in one sentence with no grammar to
explain it. The general sense is something like {SutaHlaHbe'.} Note that
the speaker keeps slipping back and forth between talking to an individual
and a group.
> CATS: HA HA HA HA
> HoD: Hoch "zig" yIteq
"Take off each zig!"? This is perfectly grammatical and meaningless.
> HoD: nuq bota' boSov
More gibberish. Two main verbs and a question word as direct object with no
grammar to hold them together. Wild guess here: {nuq bota'pu'?} "What have
you accomplished?"
> HoD: "zig" vIH
"A moving zig"?
> HoD: ruv'a'vaD
Great justice is the indirect object of a missing sentence.
