[Mailman-Developers] question about using the email interface.

[Mike Lucas]

First, we have users using everything from Pine/mutt to Eudora/outlook 
and everything in between for mail clients.  Second, the email that 
Mailman sends says you can use the reply to accept the message or delete 
it. the problem is that the message that mailman sends only says to 
reply to the message and either leave it unchanged to delete or add 
approved <passwd>  to accept the message.  Nothing about having to do 
anything with the attachment or change the to field or subject line.  So 
my questing is can we change what the email says or change the way it 
sends the email so a standard reply will work.  If this is not clear our 
users will not be happy :(.
