Mailmen,

From the change log for 2.1:

        When a message is first held for approval, the notification
        sent to the list admin is a 3-part multipart/mixed.  The
        first part holds the notification message, the second part
        hold the original message, and the third part hold a cookie
        confirmation message, to which the admin can respond to
        approve or discard the message via email.

The consequence of this change since 2.0 is that every single junk mail to the list (which is nearly all mail that ends up getting held for approval) is copied in its full glory to the list administrator. This particular list administrator experiences the further consequence of having to give his junk mail filter mixed messages about trying to not mark such email as junk, yet mark other email with the same contents as junk mail. Even ignoring the filter problems, I'd just as soon not have all that email copied to me at all. It would be sufficient to send me an email that there is a post awaiting approval without even providing the from address or the subject line. I can always go look at the email in its less offensive raw text form on the Mailman disposition web page.

So is there a way to turn this off? Is there an option for this, or does the source code need to be modified?
