It is because, if someone reports (by telephone, IRC or IRL) that he
sent an email and I did not receive it, I regard as VERY IMPORTANT to
be able to check the spam folder (with a search tool, not by hand) and
go back to him saying "No, we really did not receive it".
In a professional environment, I would not accept the idea of email
disappearing without being able to recover it.
In my view of a "professional environment" (what ever that turns out to
mean) a log file would enable that, without any of the problems holding
mail text might engender.
"Did you get the email from...to...?
