Because people who are subscribed to the list don't require extra copies of mails. [And since anyone who wants a copy can request it using MFT: or manually, it's perfectly fine.] > New posters should read the Code of Conduct? Listmasters, would you > consider adding a link to the CoC at the bottom of list mails? http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct is linked from the introduction, which is on the page where you learn what lists we have and how to subscribe to them. Someone who doesn't bother to read that won't bother to read the links posted at the bottom of a mail.
