Right now I frequently approve blocked posts (crossposting, size, etc.) via email. If you remove this, I'd have to go to the web page to do so, which takes longer and requires that I be online (instead of working offline on an airplane, for example). I'd actually prefer to sign the message with PGP, but an approve-only password works for me (and is both less work to implement and more likely to be implemented correctly). -- Carson _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
