Sent as email straight to the list - didn't have to be manually
approved - it went straight through.

It was in the first text/plain part - though in the sent version I've
got of the mail, the Approved: line is the very first line. Once it
went through the list, there was a line space at the top of the
email, before the Approved: line...

Headers say multipart/mixed... Anything else this could be?
