Summary: Edit held message header/body

Initial Comment:
Here is my preliminary (brute force) patch to allow
full editing of headers and bodies of messages being
held for approval in Mailman 2.1 (as of beta 5).  I
have released versions of this for 1.x and 2.0.x but
wanted to wait until 2.1 was fairly stable before
releasing this one.

You must set HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = 0 in your
installation's mm_cfg.py for this to work.  I may
support pickles in a future version.  Personally I
don't see that much performance difference anyway, not
on the held stuff...  Also note that if you had
HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = 1 (the default) when you
created a list, you must recreate it after changing
that variable. (Learned the hard way)

This patch overrides the ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT
setting, so if you have megabyte messages being held,
be ready to wait. 

Also - this version doesn't change the request
database, so if you change the Subject: header you
won't see the change reflected in the summary list (but
it will be sent out your way when you Approve).

Happy mailmanning!

Don't worry, MM2.2/3.0 is currently a figment of my
imagination.  I just needed to do this for triage purposes,
and I doubt any of the code involved will change radically
before 2.1 final is out.  We can move it back to the 2.1
group when that's done (SF doesn't give me enough
classification options here unfortunately).

The problem with moving this to 2.2/3.0 is that I actually
have no way of knowing whether it will work with 2.2/3.0 -
it is based on 2.1.  I actually don't expect this feature to
ever be folder into "official" Mailman since editing the
envelope is apparently considered heresy :) but I want the
patch to be available for people who need it.  Just so it
stops moving so I can post the URL...

I'm moving this to the 2.2/3.0 group since we're in feature
freeze for 2.1
