I have implemented an enhancement to the module
(Mailman/Handlers/Approve.py) that looks for and removes Approve(d):
lines. The enhancement should resolve the failed attempts at removal.
The new code has been checked in to SVN and will be in the next
release of Mailman.

If you need this funcionality, the module can be obtained at
<http://mailman.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/mailman/branches/Release_2_1-maint/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Approve.py?revision=8232>.
This module should work in any Mailman 2.1.x version.
