Not an x-header, definitely. And I think putting it in the subject line is
wrong, also. 

I'd suggest simply putting a [message edited by moderator] in line 1 of the
message body.

Add another button -- "edit", which brings up a page where you can edit that
message, when when you save it, takes you back to the current admindb page.
You'd have to worry about state on other messages (if you have already
clicked discard or approve, you don't want to lose it), but otherwise, it's
pretty straight forward.

Yes, yes, I've finally finished my home page. Lucky you.

I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a
message...
