Actually, there is a real problem with using an Approved: header/pseudo-header in this context. It won't stop a post from being held by header_filter_rules because SpamDetect comes before Approve in the global handler pipeline, but there is a more serious problem. If a message containing an Approved: header/pseudo-header is held by header_filter_rules and subsequently approved, the Approved: header/pseudo-header is not removed from the message. >Approving by replying to the "confirm" email with approved: password accepts >the taboo word. > >An oddity but not a problem. Well, as I say above, it is a problem if you put an Approved: header/pseudo-header in your edited message, and your edited message gets held by header_filter_rules. In that case, when you approve the edited message, the Approved: header/pseudo-header isn't removed. >2. Thanks for the suggestion to drag the message into drafts.

Cool! I'm going to add your findings plus info about the Approved: header to the FAQ.
