By the way, all list owners and settings are imported. The configuration
remains as similar as possible.

However, there are limits.

mm2 offers the choice of "by date" or "by thread" display. It looks like
Hyperkitty defaults to a "Threads" view, where replies are included below
the top-level one. That is the way mm3 works. There isn't a "by date" view
(separate from a threads view).

Consider this page that garbles grisumbras's name:
https://listarchives.boost.org/boost-announce/2025/05/date.php

The most "original content" available on wowbagger are the archive files.
They contain something illegible:

 "Ð ” Ð ¼ Ð "

Those characters are copied exactly verbatim to the listarchives machine,
and it shows the same bad result as before. But the machine
https://listarchives.boost.org shouldn't be a major focus. It's a sort of
backup. The new real server will also have the imports, corrected/fixed,
and they are searchable.
