The new stuff's pretty cool, but now that I've gotten a chance to try it out I've got a couple things I'd like to say about it:
Firstly, while most of the mailing lists are good and cool, there's a couple which don't benefit the AI and can be kind of annoying. I'm specifically talking about the ruckingenur kit mailing list: as soon as a mechanic showed up for the round and started scanning stuff, I started getting a barrage of "item scanned" and "item already in database" messages which were of no use at all to me and were honestly kind of annoying.
Secondly, on message interception: the AI has no way to tell whether a message was intended for them or not except through context. An intercepted message between two crewmembers appears absolutely identically to one sent to the AI, which can easily get really confusing.
