Summary: notification e-mail and web interface out of sync

Initial Comment:

When a list adminstration asks for daily (say)  e-mail notification of all 
pending messages awaiting moderation, the resulting e-mail lists those messages 
in time-forward order (and succinctly).

By contrast, the web interface lists all pending messages awaiting moderation 
in author-alphabetic order (and verbosely).

For a busy list, this makes the mail useless as one must, for a second time, 
read through the (verbose) list of messages looking for what you want to save 
while you delete the 95% spam.  (Busy here means >100 spams per day.)

If the interface for deleting it is in time forward order, then one can 
actually say "All entries through 9:34am can be deleted" even if the effect is 
limited to confirming that what was in the e-mail notification and what is 
displayed on the web interface are the same or not.

If the interface is in alphabetic order by author, then newly arrived spam is 
inserted at an arbiitrary location into the list.  As such, even a page reload 
means you have to start over from the top.

Note that the ~mailman account is *NOT* available to list managers at this site 
(mit.edu), so such things as   
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#4.74   are irrelevant.

Yours, 

H&T
