I disagree.  Email header data is email header data whether it is from
or to or date or subject or received or what mailer is in use to send
it or whatever.  It's all header data.

And since there have already been local changes continuing to diverge
I am sliding along with the flow and not blocking any further changes
and actually am trying to help with those changes.

I don't find them for debbugs either.  Where is the initial seed

order to find the db tree?  I couldn't find it.  How do search engines
find the debbugs db trees?
