This approach would mean that mailing list users would get an

I don't think this will work very well in practice.
I'm not suggesting an upvote button. Hopefully it would work
just like now, where people usually leave explanatory comments
with their +1's.
Oh, sorry - somehow missed that part of your post.
Well, this suggestion carries the problem of turning "+1" into
actual syntax recognized by some software and thus encouraging
using them :) anyway, I thought the point of voting was to
avoid +1 posts in the first place.
If the point is to avoid +1's, I don't think that's possible in a
way that isn't either equally intrusive or leaves NNTP users in
the dark.
