Thanks for your information about the MIME strippers. I think, though, that Mailman 2.1.3, which is the version provided by my web host, has something that does that. This is fortunate for me, because I do not have access to the aliases file from cpanel (or any other way with this web host). Basically, I've asked Mailman to remove any message attachments that aren't in text/plain and to convert HTML to plain text. And, as far as I can tell, Mailman did that with the message it forwarded to me. I now want to forward that message to the mailing list. In Majordomo, I would have simply added the line "Approved: [password]" and mailed it to the post address for the mailing list. Then, Majordomo would delete my approval and the message would get distributed just as if it came directly from the list member who sent it. I'm trying to figure out Mailman's equivalent of that. I am explaining myself badly because I'm so new to Mailman. I'm assuming that if Mailman had put this message in "Tend to pending moderator requests", Mailman would have provided some way of approving it and sending it on through the web interface. I've not gotten anything that needed moderator action yet, so I have no idea what happens then. Instead Mailman sent the message to me and now I have to figure out how to get it distributed to the mailing list remotely via email and have it look as though it came directly (headers and all) from the list member who sent it to the mailing list. I'm trying to find out how to do that.
