No. Moderated messages can be approved or discarded either via the web or via email. >Is it hard to use an on line web approval system? To add comments, or to >reformat the original message in particular?

The on line approval process is simple, but editing messages to be approved is very cumbersome at best. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.009.htp>. >Is it necessary that messages be approved in the same order they were >received in? No, but approving a reply prior to the original message may affect threading in the archives. >Can digest be manually created via some sort of command or are all digests >created automatically based on size or a time of day set up on the system? Digests are normally produced once a day by a cron job and additionally when they reach a settable size limit. You can turn off periodic digests, and you can manually trigger a digest at any time. >Is it possible to ban or strip all attachments completely? Yes. >All this may be moot if there's an option for doing the >processing through email as I have always done in the past. You can approve by email, and editing the 'approved' post is most easily accomplished by email too, although it is cumbersome. >Another 'nice to have' option would be if digests are formatted with a list >of inclusions at the beginning, including the subject, sender's name, and >perhaps a number for each message? Digests come in two flavors selectable by the recipient. Either a flattened, plain text format or MIME format with each message in its own message/rfc822 part. In either format, the messages are preceded by some list boiler plate and a table of contents like the following: Today's Topics: 1. RE: Triple chain rings (John Mulvihill) 2.
