Does Eric still read this list?
This should be a fairly simple request (aren't they all). I am the
moderator for a couple of Usenet groups. For various reasons, my tool
of choice for the moderator tasks happens to be to setup a Listserv list
and have that list be listed as "the moderator". This means that all
posts to the Usenet group automatically get sent to the Listserv list
for review.
When a message is approved by the Editor(s), it gets distributed to the
email subscribers. One of those subscribers is an email->usenet
gateway.
Listserv has a keyword of "Newsgroups". This is very good; the gateway
uses this to get the message into the correct group.
BUT;
For lists that are "Send= Editor", when the list moderator approves the
message, the header tag that gets added is "Approved-By:". However, the
Usenet header for moderated newsgroups is "Approved:" (note the missing
"-By").
So...my request is this: for lists which have both Send=Editor and a
Newsgroups: tag in the list header, can Listserv please add a header of
"Approved:" (with the same value as in (Approved-By:")?
Pretty please?
Actually, I would ask that Listserv simply use Approved: and drop the
"-By", but there are probably things that would make doing that
unpalatable.
