Yes, the Approved: line with the password gets stripped from the mail 
if and ONLY if it meets one of two criteria.

1. It is the very first line in the body of the e-mail, there can be 
no other lines before it.

2. It is used as a header (I think this is really the best approach 
if you can do it, I am certain this can be done in Python, Perl and 
PHP, not so sure, about a bash script).

I believe the moderator password will work too. I am sure somebody 
will correct me if I am wrong. If so, you ought to use it because if 
it somehow becomes disclosed accidentally, there is much less 
potential for damage by malicious people than with the administrator password.
