You won't see the message to be approved unless you enable attachments.
I don't understand your comments about UNIX and LINUX. Here's an example of
what I see running LINUX and Mutt (http://www.mutt.org) as as the MUA:

[-- Attachment #1 --]

This message was originally submitted by XXXXX@XXXX to the BIRDTECH-L
list at LISTSERV.AOL.COM. You can approve it using the "OK" mechanism (click on
the link below), ignore it, or repost an edited copy.

Well, I for one have been educated by the progression of this
thread.

My approval procedure is the same as it was in 1.8d: read the message, hit
"r" if it's acceptable, hit "n" to not include the message in my reply, type
"ok" and send it off.
Attachments are not a security risk in Mutt as the user chooses what will be
done with each type of attachment in the .mailcap file. Some examples from
my .mailcap are:
text/html; w3m -dump -T text/html '%s'; copiousoutput
image/gif; xv %s
image/jpeg; xv %s
image/jpg; xv %s
application/pgp-keys; pgp -f < %s ; copiousoutput
application/pdf; pdftotext %s -; copiousoutput
application/rtf; Ted %s
application/msword; catdoc %s; copiousoutput #converts .doc to text
