I suspect it is close for people approving posts via email, but based on
questions on the mailman-users list, there are some number of 'non-power
users' using the Approved: header/body line for spoof-proof posting to
announcement lists. I don't really know what the best mechanism is, but
I think there needs to be some way for a user to post to an announcement
list in a spoof-proof way without requiring a subsequent visit to the
web interface to approve the post. I'm not sure that all the people who
need to do this are comfortable with signing posts.
