Ideally, that's true, and we're probably all guilty from time to time of
being a bit lazy in this regard. But sometimes the point being responded to
isn't conveniently found in one or two sentences. It is for those cases
that having the URL under which a message is going to be archived be
automagically included in the message itself. Not to mention that when an
interesting "how-to" comes along in a message, you could simply bookmark the
URL, rather than save the message with a bunch of others in some folder.
