Mark,
That's a pleasant sight, I agree. (I'm a former member of both the triumphs
and british-car lists, though not for several years. I appreciate all the
time and effort you put into maintaining team.net.)
I help manage the python.org mailing lists. In fact, I came across your
mail while doing a bit of backend triage this evening.
To help with the process, a couple years ago I wrote a script to help me
quickly process held messages:
http://www.smontanaro.net/python/mmfold.py
I invoke it from a shell function which executes it once for each list I
admin or moderate:
mmcheck ()
{
for url in
http://mail.python.org/mailman/admindb/pydotorg-checkins?admpw=XXXXXX
http://mail.python.org/mailman/admindb/python-bugs-list?admpw=XXXXXX
http://mail.python.org/mailman/admindb/python-list?admpw=XXXXXX
...
do
mmfold $url;
done
}
then just step through the pages it generates. Information for each held
message is displayed in a single line and the default action is to discard,
which I find is the most useful action.
Maybe it will help to keep your held message lists down under 1,000.
Cheers,
