Hi -

	As instructions for editing messages held for moderation, Mailman
includes this text:

Turn on the Forward to option, and fill in the forwarding address if you
want to forward the message to someone else not on the list. To edit a
held message before it is sent on to the list, you should forward the
message to yourself (or the list owners), and discard the original
message. Then, when the message shows up in your mailbox, make your edits
and resend the message to the list, including an Approved: header with the
list password as its value. It is proper netiquette in this case to
include a note in the resent message, explaining that you have modified
the text. 


	When it says to "include an Approved: header", does it mean to put
the literal text "Approved:" with a password into the Subject line, or do
they really mean to create an "Approved:" header, and how would one do
that?
