Let me clarify. The "Send= Editor,Hold" option makes use of the OK
mechanism. The OK mechanism is a security/authentication procedure and it
does not let people approve other people's commands because it would make
absolutely no sense and would go in the opposite direction of what OK was
designed to do, namely increase security. Furthermore this behaviour is
required to make "Subscription= Open,Confirm" work. So the options are to
live with this restriction, or not to use the OK mechanism and instead
implement a parallel and nearly identical procedure for editor approval,
which could be told to optionally allow editors to approve other editors'
messages. I was able to add support for "Send= Editor,Hold" precisely
because I didn't have to do that - 95% of the work was already done.
