Because you are relying on the headers containing the email
addresses of every single person on the mailing list, and also the
belief that people do not want to receive posting from the mailing
list, but from dozens and dozens of individuals. That destroys the
integrity of the mailing list as a mailing list, means that new
subscribers to the mailing will only receive posts from people
replying to broken headers after a post of their own has been
sent, and destroys the consistancy of the archives.
 
It seems that every month or so I have to rewrite my mail
processing software because of this one list.
