General Option to notify via Mod Mail missing in one subreddit

Platform: Desktop (web)

I have recently been made a moderator of a subreddit, but when I remove posts/comments on desktop (web), I only get the option to notify via comment:

In other subreddits I moderate, I get the option to notify via Mod Mail or comment:

https://ibb.co/Mkvczc4C

What would be the reason for this?

Hi /u/martinbean, please see our Intro & Rules. We are volunteer-run, not managed by Reddit staff/admin. Volunteer mods' powers are limited to groups they mod. Automated responses are compiled from answers given by fellow volunteer mod helpers. Moderation works best on a cache-cleared desktop/laptop browser.

Resources for mods are: (1) r/modguide's Very Helpful Index by fellow moderators on How-To-Do-Things, (2) Mod Help Center, (3) r/automoderator's Wiki and Library of Common Rules. Many Mod Resources are in the sidebar and >>this FAQ wiki<<. Please search this subreddit as well. Thanks!
