That would violate RFC1123.  For a detailed discussion see

But it makes it practically impossible to properly continue a
thread that needs to be cross-posted across two mailing lists.
You don't often want to have such threads, but suppose for
example we want to discuss with the Perl6 folks how their work
can be integrated with DotGNU.  That would be a thread that
should properly be cross-posted to both the DotGNU ARCH mailing
list and a mailing list of the Perl6 folks.
