Re: [Mailman-Users] How to approve a moderated post via email reply?

2003-10-14 Thread John DeCarlo
Merle,

1. The format is Approved: password.  But.

1.a.  This should be a header - but few email clients (MUAs) support 
adding a new header.

1.b.  Your other choice is to make sure it is the first line of text. 
If you are sending in HTML format, it won't be.

2.  You are sent a message with two attachments.  The main message tells 
you you have to moderate something.  The first attachment is the 
original message to moderate.  The second attachment is the instruction 
message.

2.a.  You have to reply to the instruction message to approve or 
disapprove the message.  This can be very difficult with most MUAs.

2.b.  The alternative is to compose a new message.  Make sure it is to 
the listname-request address (which it would be if you replied to the 
second attachment message).  Make sure it has the same Subject.  This is 
particularly important because Mailman is looking for confirm ... with 
the long string following to identify the message being approved or not.

Hope this helps.

email reply.

Does anyone know the format of the reply?  I have tried Approve 
Approved  with the password etc, in the subject of the reply but none 
work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
