a) To know exactly what I was approving, and thus not miss something untoward toward the end of a message.
Yes, I miss this too. I wish the textareas had the entire message in it, so that they have both wonderful attributes of 1) not taking up page after page of browser area, but 2) having the whole daggone message (or at least the first N kB, where N is configurable).
As I later wrote, this is configurable with the v2beta by setting ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT. Look in ~mailman/Mailman/Default.py for details.
b) To copy off the held message locally, for local editing and resubmitting, say with editorial/moderation comments.
You can do that with a "discard/forward to" or "hold/forward to". The "forward to" is nifty.
I don't see that feature -- it must be newer than the beta I've installed.
The new moderation interface prevents both those abilities, and is not configurable to return to the old format.
I don't want the old format;
Hehn. I rather liked the old plain format. It made things very easy. <shrug> Little matter. The new format with my patch is (almost) good enough.
I want that very-slight tweak to the new format (configurable textarea size), with the perhaps other tweak of "80-column textarea width".
If you agree, I'm about to code that anyway.
I've already submitted a patch for that.
