Hello again, Someone with shell access has kindly deleted everything prefixed with:
heldmsg-<listname> in ~mailman/data and that has done the trick. As a suggestion for a future version of Mailman, if there had been options to show only the headers of the held mails and a button in the web interface for 'set all to discard' it would have solved this problem very neatly. Alternatively, there could be a preference to set the default button behaviour to 'discard' instead of 'defer'. Thanks again - Mailman is great. But I expect you all knew that...
