It is because, if someone reports (by telephone, IRC or IRL) that he sent an email and I did not receive it, I regard as VERY IMPORTANT to be able to check the spam folder (with a search tool, not by hand) and go back to him saying "No, we really did not receive it". In a professional environment, I would not accept the idea of email disappearing without being able to recover it.
In my view of a "professional environment" (what ever that turns out to mean) a log file would enable that, without any of the problems holding mail text might engender.
