Ian,
I am a bit confused about why you should even need to resend unless you
are going to be modifying the actual text of the original message.  If
you just reply with one body line containing "OK" (no quotes) the
message will be approved and distributed.  Doesn't it say that in the
text of the message you get?  If your list has a web interface, you can
also approve via the web, but the OK reply is the simplist.  Then just
delete the message from Listserv.
