Query:  On a very low-traffic mailing list (i.e. one where the list
admin doesn't think it too much trouble), would it be a reasonable
workaround for the list admin to paste the content of a
message-to-be-moderated (i.e. one From: a yahoo address) into a new
message _of his/her own_ and send _that_ to the list?  This message
could include the original From: address _in its body text_ (not its
headers) along with a brief reference to the yahoo problem to explain
the unusual format.

I've since thought of a third difficulty besides the two I mentioned.

If the post-to-be-moderated is itself a reply to an earlier post, then mailman's archive threading will be broken unless the list moderator goes to the trouble of setting up the substitute message as a reply to the same earlier post. (And of course one must delete all the stuff one's MUA wants to insert, as that will already be provided in the message-to-be-moderated.)

Is this correct?
