Can Mailman do moderation over email? If it can do that, then I'm all
for it. If it can't, which was the case last time I checked (more than
a year ago or two, I admit), then I repeat my plea that it's not done.
Moderation over www is a PITA. My MUA allows me to accept/reject a
message in a single keystroke. If I had to fetch a webpage any time I
wanted to approve a post I'd abandon the job pretty quickly.
