>From a post-held notification, I quote: 

"If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact,
Mailman will discard the held message.  Do this if the message is
spam.  If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header
with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting
to the list.  The Approved: header can also appear in the first line
of the body of the reply."

So just go ahead and do as you describe with the Approved: header and
everything should work as expected.
