"grep -r .... /usr/lib/mailman/" finds Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py which
appear to hard-code the rejection messages.

Feature request:

1. for "class SuspiciousHeaders": optionally add the name and the value
   of the suspicious header to the rejection message. the moderator then
   can remove it if he wants to, but it gives him valuable fedback on
   which rules trigger.

2. for all rejection messages, allow a common custom explanation.
   e.g., I find it very inconvenient to have to insert
   "See <http://clisp.cons.org/faq.html#rejected> for details."
   after each rejection message.

Thanks!
