Greetings, relatively new K-9 mail user here.  I moderate a few Mailman 
email discussion lists.

When Mailman (the email discussion list manager) holds a message for 
approval, it sends a message to the list's moderator.  The subject of this 
message is "<list name> post from <sender> requires approval."

When you open that message in other mail readers, you see a message from 
Mailman: "As list administrator, your authorization is requested for the 
following mailing list posting."  This is followed by the list address, the 
sender's address, the subject, and the reason the message was held for 
approval.

This message from Mailman also has two other email messages included as 
MIME attachments (Content-Type: message/rfc822).

One is the email that was held for approval.  (This may include its own 
attachments.)

The other is a separate email from Mailman.  This email has as its subject 
the word "confirm" and a long string of letters and numerals (the 
confirmation string).

By replying to this second email, you as moderator can approve or deny the 
posting.

Pegasus mail (for one) has no problem with this.  I can open that second 
email and reply to it, to take care of moderation by email.

However, when I receive moderator email from Mailman in K-9 mail, it 
doesn't respect the attached email messages.  Instead, it shows all the 
message in one go:

 - the message with subject "<list name> post from <sender> requires 
approval."
 - the message held for approval (though not its attachments; those are 
visible with the Attachments button)
 - the confirmation message from Mailman

This means that it's impossible to reply to the Mailman confirmation 
message.  

If you start a new email message and paste in the "confirm <confirmation 
number>, Mailman rejects it as invalid, because it's not a reply to the 
message Mailman sent.

How can I configure K-9 to respect the sub-messages (if you will) attached 
to messages, so I can use it for moderating email discussion list posts?

I hope I've described the problem clearly enough.

Many thanks for your help with this!
