First of all, thank you so much to Amir, Legoktm, and everyone else
involved in this migration. Top notch!

I have another question about "Spam, etc". Old Mailman had a XXth century
UI for processing spam with a gazillion options. Now we seem to have only
three: "Accept, Reject, Discard". While "Accept" is clear... can someone
explain the difference between Reject and Discard, please? Wiktionary alone
didn't help. :)
