The patch will be in the 2.1 branch in Launchpad within a few days if
not sooner, but it is also attached to this mail as Approve.patch.txt.
It will be released in 2.1.14.

T-bird supports this. Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Config
Editor and set mail.compose.other.header. In my case, I have
Approved,Urgent which gives me the both Approved: and Urgent: header
choices in addition to the standard To:, Cc:, Bcc:, Reply-To:,
Newsgroup: and Followup-To: in the composition window.
I have never figured out how to do this in MSOE, and I haven't tried
with Apple Mail, and I don't know Evolution at all.
One thing you could try is bookmarking a link like
mailto:myl...@example.com?approved=password
which should work, but those clients I've tried it with ignore it.
If putting in a real header is not practical, there's always post
approving the post via the web UI.
