It seems that back then list boundaries weren't as clearly defined as
they are now.  I checked the emails listed as being in Oct. 1999 (I
think; maybe it was Sept) and the headers had "To: [email protected]"
instead of pgsql-admin.  There were only two of them.  They were close
to the end of the month (say on the 28th and 29th or something like
that) so maybe they ended up in next month's mbox because they were
delayed because of the resending, or something like that.

I know we used to get email to [email protected] and Marc
customarily resent them to pgsql-hackers, for example.
