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.
