Re: [Mailman-Developers] Approval system
Also, by the way, does anyone know why Mailman uses TEXTAREA fields to display postings in the approval interface? You can't edit them, so why not just wrap them in <pre> tags to read/approve? (In fact, the textarea fields create a false impression that they *are* editable...)
textareas give you scrolling, which is useful when the message you're rejecting has, for example, a 1MB MIME-encoded attachment.

Except that Mailman already cuts the content down to a pretty short max size in the texarea anyway, so this would never be an issue...
Also, reading separate scrolling windows is cumbersome compared to scrolling the main browser window, and takes *more* screen space for very short messages, not to mention the difficulty in Lynx :( Most efficient could be a very concise:
<pre> Date: From: Subject: These already above? < Link to full message text >
Configurable first few lines... </pre>
