.. but since basically nobody else does that, it's worthless.

You'd have to go back to the email address and date range *anyway* for
everybody else, so you doing it adds no value - and everybody doing it
would be just hugely annoying.

End result: unless there's some actual company policy, please just
don't do this. Because your "copyright" excuse is clearly just empty
words.
