The patch is attached as forward.patch.txt. That's great for rejected messages, but I personally would find this feature most useful for rejected subscription attempts. (I run a list where we trade email back and forth with potential subscribers before approving their request; the most frequent reason for rejecting a subscription request is that the prospective subscriber never replies to our mail.) And given that, I think it would be most intuitive to have a "send a copy of this rejection message to list owners and moderators" checkbox both on the general moderation pages where members are rejected and on the message detail pages where list postings can be rejected with an explanation. (In order to save vertical space and decrease repetitive clicking, perhaps it would be best to have one checkbox per page. You could still forward the rejection explanations for some membership requests and not forward the rejection explanations for others by doing them in two batches.) Sorry for not getting this comment in earlier! And in any case, thanks for the patch!
