Since it seems that most Usenet servers accept it anyway, your attempt to keep from iterfering seems to be moot. Besides, it is a useful 'feature' when gatewaying lists. Especially when the list is set up as: * Send= Editor * Editor= (another list of a whole bunch of people who can post on their own) * Moderator= moderator 1 * Moderator= moderator 2 If it were just the Moderators, it wouldn't be a big deal since we could force the tag into the header using our Mail User Agent. But it would be a royal pain to try to teach that "whole bunch of people" how to do that (not to mention that they might abuse the knowlege on other moderated groups). I don't suppose it would be too much to ask to reconsider and have Listserv use the regular Approved: tag, would it? Of course, it might be just as easy to get the mail2news program to automagically change it, but that would be "programming for odd header tags". I seem to recall you having some not-so-nice things to say about doing things like that (and with good reason).
