my suggestion is, before I had the honor to use outlook I had Smartermail .. they have a cool feature of approving messages with passwords is to use it in the subject line itself : "[password: PASSWORD] Subject bla bla bla".. then it removes the password part of course ..
why don't you guys do the same? it sure beats adding a custom header and stuff .. because in html messages it's really hard to do that !!
We do. Just not in the subject.
As long as the incoming message has a text/plain part (i.e. is either a text/plain message or a multipart/alternative message with a text/plain alternative, we recognize and delete "Approved: passord" if it is the first non-blank line of the body. We also attempt to delete the line from any other body parts in which it appears, but in pathological cases, this may fail, so test first.
If your clients insist on posting HTML only messages and can't add an actual Approved: header to the message, then you can try patching Mailman/Handlers/Approve.py to recognize "[Approved: password]" in the Subject: header. The attached Approve.patch.txt file contains a patch that might do it.
I'll consider this as a feature for Mailman 2.2
