Ease of use. I'm sure my usual posting to slug will involve:

send e-mail
get bounce
*swear about stupid magic keyword*
look for an old email about the current magic keyword
append to e-mail
resend e-mail.

Actually on second thoughts it will probably be more like:

send e-mail
get bounce
*swear about stupid magic keyword*
give up trying to reply to someones question
