With the non-existent bandwidth-problem, as you have mentioned, it seems to be a resonable choice. But then, if anybody refers to a message previously sent, a message he still has on his system (ML messages are deleted here after 90 days only), would you expect him to dig into the archives and find out the URL to that message?
