Hi,
I was just thinking what could be a usefull feature in admindb.py for approved posts : When a post is held for approval, convert the email-address of the poster to a hyperlink to the options page for that user ("/mailman/options/listname/email--at--host.com") so if you see a message with "please remove me from this list" or "why haven't i been getting any more mail lately?" you can just click on the address and immediately edit the options for that user...
ps: i'm still voting for having the message headers seperated from the body on the approval page... i keep having to put back my own hacks after upgrading to a new beta ;)

In response to my own post :)
Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py line #215 t.AddRow([Bold('From:'), '<A HREF="%s/%s">%s</A>' % (mlist.GetRelativeScriptURL('options'), Utils.ObscureEmail(sender), sender)])
there should be a cleaner way to code this, but for now it makes my daily work with the posts on our moderated list a lot easier...

What do you use this for? Punitive unsubscription?

i actually had to look up the word 'punitive' in an English-Dutch dicitionary :) anyway, no I don't use it for punitive unsubscription... but often people post message like "please unsubscribe me" or "how come I don't receive any more mail from the list?" (the latter happens when they had a full mailbox and mailman automatically disabled their account).... though it's possible to write a message with explanation, in most cases (especially considering the lack of computer knowledge of most of the subscribers) this only confuses them more... so I usually want to fix it myself.
