No matter what I do with my pending messages, they don't go away. All the options are there, available, but after submitting my choices everything reverts back. There are some FAQ entries related to this; but they all include having to re-enter passwd at some point. I have no problem with that and cookies are a-ok.
thx in advance

The FAQs are somewhat misleading. Re-entering the password is not always a symptom. The FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/ioA9> is probably relevant. Is your web server redirecting or rewriting your POST URLs?

Not to my knowledge, but the server itself wasn't set up by me. I got handed somebody else's mess. a couple more things that might help; permissions check out, there was no upgrading or moving involved, if I try to admin a message from a single message view I get send back to pending requests overview page. and wouldn't URL redirect screw up all changes I try to make? I can normally change settings for lists, it's just the messages that are misbehaving.

A redirect may or may not affect the admin as well as the admindb interface. It depends on the specifics of the web server configuration.
You need to do two things:
View the source of an admindb page and note the action= URL in the form tag. If it is a relative URL, prepend the initial portion of the URL in the browser's address bar to get an absolute URL.
Look at the web server's configuration and figure out what it does to process that URL and if it just does the POST or if it redirects or rewrites it somehow.
Somebody else's mess or not, someone is going to have to figure out what the web server is doing with these requests.
