This is regularly requested, but I have a hard time understanding why it's useful, unless you have really horrible connectivity to the list admin pages. All it's going to do is fill up people's mailboxes with these messages, and everybody will get two messages per task instead of one. I think that the only reason this request keeps coming up is that until it's implemented nobody will notice the practical problems with it. I administer about a dozen lists, and direct the "you have messages to moderate" notices to the bitbucket. I have a bookmark folder in Firefox with a bookmark for each list's moderation queue. When I'm about to do admin work (two or three times a day), the first thing I do is "Open All in Tabs", which usually takes 20-30 seconds. The password is in the bookmarks, which is a small security risk but I'm not particularly worried about these lists. Often I won't even wait, but immediately turn to email or such. When I'm ready to do moderation, I just run down the tabs, closing each one when I'm done. I used to keep all the tabs open and minimize the window when done, but all too often I'd either forget to process a list, or forget to refresh its page so that it looked like an empty queue. The "close when done, open all in tabs when ready to start again" strategy works very well for me. If you only have one list to moderate, but share it with others, then clicking an icon or selecting the window from a menu, and hitting refresh, is hardly more effort than dealing with an extra mail, especially once it becomes part of the routine. IMO YMMV, but really I think you should look at reorganizing the existing workflow rather than adding to it. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
