I'd prefer that.

1. We can drop the concept altogether. This means there'd be no way

to post a message as coming from an approved source, with a bypass of
the posting filters.

That would be bad, I think. It's not uncommon to send mails from "on the road"; in that case you want to "send and forget" the mail without having to visit a website to approve it afterwards. And you may want to send pre-approved mails that are automatically generated.

Maybe because few people have MUAs that support
adding custom headers, this feature just isn't used much in the real
world these days.

But you can add a Approved-line in the body, too.
