If you are trying out a new test and are not sure what it is going to do you set the WEIGHT of that test to 0 and then monitor it. One way would be to use a HOLD action on that test.
My question is if the WEIGHT was not set to 0 but say 10 and the action is HOLD will the e-mail be held regardless of the total weight?
Not necessarily (since there may be tests with negative weights). For example, by default, if an E-mail does not fail the NOLEGITCONTENT/IPNOTINMX tests, it will start with a weight below 0. Therefore, if an E-mail failed just the new test, the E-mail would not have a weight of 10 or higher.
If that is true then why does it matter what the weight is set to?
Because some people may, for example, use WEIGHT10 HOLD and WEIGHT20 DELETE. In this case, an E-mail that would have otherwise had a weight of 12 (and therefore held) would now have a weight of 22 (and be deleted). So in this case, the test would be live and running and doing its thing.
