Summary: More flexible viewing of message excerpts

Initial Comment:
In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on Mailman-Users, Cindy Norwitz suggested allowing 
longer excerpts for moderating posts and gave a plausible use case (users who 
don't understand copyright submitting long and full copies of others' work).  
This should be configurable by list, as many lists require only being able to 
distinguish spam from real posts, which is normally possible within a few lines.

I would also like to have the ability to view message excerpts for subscription 
requests, as these are sometimes spam.

In both cases the existing hardcoded values should be the default.

Thanks, Stephen.  As you said, there are often times when you need to see
the entire post attempt before you can make a judgement.  I have
subscribers who like to forward copyrighted material and other long
inappropriate things, including quotes of entire digests.  With the short
excerpt, sometimes I think the post is okay when it's actually not.  -Cyndi
