The reason is continuity. OY! Please do NOT do this!

That would be just ducky by me! Though you might wish to consider limiting it to the last N hundred messages. If someone subscribes late in the sub-list life, their SA is _not_ going to be happy if their system gets killed by what would effectively be a mail-bombing, albeit unintentional. As yet another alternative, if you subscribe late, go look at the archives! E.W.
