I help moderate a couple mailing lists on python.org. The biggest challenge for me is vetting messages which were held for review. The information density in the Mailman review page is pretty low, typically showing only two or three messages per screen. Most of the time all I'm really interested in are the subject and the disposition buttons. I wrote a script to display just that information (and set the default disposition to "discard"): http://www.musi-cal.com/~skip/python/mmfold.py The subject links to the full review page for that message, so you still have access to all the bells and whistles available should you want them. Ideally something like this will be incorporated into Mailman itself, but for now mmfold.py is a reasonable substitute and should serve as a decent place to experiment with other ideas. -- Skip Montanaro Got gigs? http://www.musi-cal.com/submit.html Got spam? http://www.spambayes.org/ skip@pobox.com
