Rupa Schomaker posted a patch to forward held messages to the listowner on
May 30, 1999.  I plan on adding an option (either personally or virtually
through a co-worker :) to forward to another address entered via textbox
-- this is useful when you've got multiple admins and don't want to spam
them all with a held message.

Anyhow, Rupa's patch should be in the mailman-users archive for May, 1999.
