Because message threading isn't tracked by subject. There are other
headers that indicate a message is a reply and you didn't change the one
your mail client uses. Doing this hides your message in a thread with
a different topic.

How do we know you are subscribed to the list?

If you don't want to be copied personally, setting the mail-followup-to
header will do this for many clients.
