Dear colleagues,
In my opinion the only and very important trait of Mailman is impossibility to moderate the lists in Majordomo style, by adding "approved: password" line at the top of "technical" e-mail message and then sending it to the listserv. The web interface for moderation is extremely inconvenient if the moderator has a dial-up connection to the Internet and need to pay for each minute or if the language of communnication supposes several characters encodings, like Russian. In Majordomo I am able to solve all the problems and prepare the messages for delivery offline, why cannot I do it in Mailman?
Sincerely yours, Roman Sinelnikov

From a post-held notification, I quote:
"If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact, Mailman will discard the held message. Do this if the message is spam. If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting to the list. The Approved: header can also appear in the first line of the body of the reply."
So just go ahead and do as you describe with the Approved: header and everything should work as expected.

while we're at it, I've tried to approve this way a couple of times, adding Approved to the 1st line of body, but:
- message hasn't been posted to the list
- message got discarded (ugh!) I suspect there's a bug somewhere but I hadn't investigated further. Anyone uses this feature successfully?
