Moderate everyone and post with an Approved: header. The header is Approved: password where password is the list admin or moderator password. Ideally, this is an actual header, but it can also be the first non-blank line of the first (or only) text/plain part of the body. I.e., if the message is pure HTML, it can't be in the body, but if the message is multipart/alternative it can. The Approved header or body line is removed from the message. The removal from the fancy alternative(s) of a multipart/alternative message is not 100% reliable, so this works best with a true header. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
