It doesn't happen to be true under the GDPR either. Recital (i.e. official
opinion) 62 (online at <https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-62/>) says that
the processor need not provide information that the data subject already
has.  You already know the contents and metadata of any correspondence
between you and me (or if you don't, it's certainly not my fault), so
either of us can log it without being required to provide the log to the
other one.

As always, IANAL and TINLA.
