I think here we were discussing two things:

subscriber answer to a non subscriber post; I think all of us agree to
avoid this (if you accept the non subscriber post, for the thread
content richness and usefulness, it is also convenient to grant thread
integrity); how to change things to reach this is a list admin and
moderator technical task;
If the non-subscriber replies to the list address, the thread will be
maintained, even if it goes through the moderator. When replying to a
non-subscriber the add the address as a CC or To for the message,
placing a note for the posted to rely to the list, not directly.
- solving or not the first thing, if the term [moderated] is
appropriate/suitable to suggest people what the mailing system does
related to a non subscriber post so that they can choose what they want
to do answering that post. My previous mail was meant to say no: the
term is not suitable, is not appropriate! Barbara explain that the term
is used to indicate that "the mailing system knows the sender is not a
subscriber but for some reasons/rules decides to forward in the same way
the 'external' message to the list". Perfect, ok, but this doesn't help
people (non technical people: the most ones!) to best behave and avoid
first point trouble. Does it? My suggest were made only to address this
trouble, improving the tag/term clearness.
So far the only time I have seen "Moderated" in the subject is when the
subject line is left blank. The only way to prevent and of this, and it
has been discuss here and in the discuss list, is to require that anyone
posting be subscribed to the list.
Finally, none want here to modify the message content, I was only
speaking about (my) moderated mean.
I understand what you mean by moderated, but it is a very narrow
definition that is not part of what the mailing list software allows.

I understand this, it's ok, but the clearness for normal (non technical
people), always addressing the first thing above (!), is still loosen:
there isn't.
I would like to see some way of making it clearer to people that the
poster is not subscribed but for now is not possible.
