A different possible oddity that I just noticed is that
the old system used UTC dates/times, such as:

Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com 
Sat May 1 19:50:18 UTC 2021

(from freebsd-git).

But the new one uses various time zones (the
senders time zone?), such as:

From: Mark Millard via freebsd-arm <freebsd-arm_at_freebsd.org> 
Date: Sat, 15 May 2021 14:43:45 -0700

(from freebsd-arm).
