All --

I must be confused about approving/denying moderated posts via email.  Let's 
assume that, for the time being, I do not have access to the moderator web 
interface and MUST use email.

When a moderated message came in this morning, I _thought_ I followed the 
instructions by hitting reply, then adding the Approved header to the top of 
the message body as below.

What happened instead was that my message (I'm also an approved list member) 
got sent to the list VERBATIM, including the display of the list password.  
This is a minor list, and the damage is minimal, but I don't want this to 
happen again.  I've had similar problems before, and thus stayed clear of the 
email method to approve/deny, but now that the web interface is down, I NEED 
this to work correctly.

What's the trick to being able to approve/deny via email?

Sincerely,
Drew Tenenholz
