Mike,

1.  You can certainly approve or reject posts to the list via email.  If 
you set "Should the list moderators get immediate notice of new 
requests,..." to Yes on the general admin page, the moderators will get 
a copy of the pending post, instructions on how to approve or reject the 
post, and the actual message with the right Subject: needed to identify 
the post correctly.

Note:  It can be confusing to get a message that you need to moderate, 
and have the message to reply to as an attachment.  Some mail clients 
have a hard time replying to an attachment, so moderators there will 
have to learn to cut and paste the Subject:, To:, etc.

2.  I haven't tried approving subscriptions via email, but the 
instructions indicate it works in a similar way to moderating.
