The presence of an entry in lists/LISTNAME/request.pck pointing to the
held message in data/ and containing other info about the message.

You can't easily. There was information in the request.pck entry that
is lost. The most important part is the metadata of the held message.
You could probably fake it, but you would need to create a python
script to do it. It would probably be easier to create a script to
unpickle the heldmsg file, remove it and  requeue it in the in queue
as a new message to the list.
