Hi,
The MIT administrators said I should forward this to you, hopefully they're right.

Hi,
We've been using mailman for [EMAIL PROTECTED] for about two months now.
While it has served its main purpose quite well (getting rid of spam to the majority of the member), administering the list (mostly dealing with "pending messages") has been quite hard because of one main thing: the interface to the pending messages is very cumbersome.
While the interface lets you do about everything, the page is extremely big, and there is no method to 'batch' process messages. With approximately 20 messages a day of spam (sometimes up to 40), and most times *none* real messages waiting, using mailman becomes a task of every single day clicking 20-40 individual radio buttons, lots of scrolling, and then submitting data.
I would strongly encourage you to have a more streamlined interface to message processing. Webmail is a very good example: it has "select all" options, and then an action; it shows one message per line, concisely but with all the information needed.
I am quite sure I'm not the only administrators/moderator with this issue, and many will appreciate having a better and simpler interface to message processing.
Thank you,
Alvar
