	If you have a copy of the message sent to you as moderator, and 
your MUA allows it, in the group of headers at the top of the 
message, you add something like the following:

		Approved: list-moderator-password-here

	Alternatively, you can add that as the first line of the content 
of the post, either from your MUA or from the copy of the message you 
see within web interface.

	There's not a separate part of the admin interface for this.  You 
add it directly to the copy of the message you have available to you 
via your MUA or the web interface.
