I think the (old?) listserv software is(was?) not able to recognise
two-letter tags.  Therefore, 'CHAT' was introduced.  Since I don't use
the filtering mechanism, I am not sure whether the current listserv
software recognises OT.  So I'd say, if unsure, use CHAT.

OTOH, no-one complained about OT, so I did not yet really insist on
using CHAT instead of OT.  Either listserv understands it now, or
no-one uses its filtering mechanisms (or does use it, but does not
complain).

Indeed.
