If you post with an actual Approved: header, Mailman will remove it.

If you post with an Approved: line as the first non-blank line in the
first text/plain part of the message, it will be removed from that
part and an attempt will be made to remove it from other text/* parts
of the message (e.g. from the text/html alternative of a
multipart/alternative message). This attempt does not always succeed.
In particular, if the poster's MUA creates a multipart/alternative
message and because of additional <font> or whatever tags, the
Approved: <password> gets split across lines in the raw HTML, it won't
be removed.

The best solution is to post with an actual header or post plain text
only.
