   Actually, that feature dates back to usenet groups.  It 
was a common feature of *N*X-based list servers, as a way 
to conserve scarce disk space.  By the time that Mickeysoft 
servers ascended to their present level of coverage, disk 
space had become (relatively) cheap, so it wasn't routinely 
implemented.
