The editor of one of the KIDLINK lists approved a message for
disribution by sending this:
> From: Alenka Makuc <[log in to unmask]>
> Message-ID: <9507232675*/G=ALENKA/S=MAKUC/O=PUBLIC1/ADMD=MAIL/C=SI/@MHS>
> To: "L-Soft list server at NDSUVM1 (1.8b)" <[log in to unmask]>
> In-Reply-To: <"25376 Mon Jul 10 18:05:45 1995"@arnes.si>
> Subject: KIDFORUM: approval required (7DF1C6)
> Date: Sun, 23 Jul 1995 12:48:40 +0000

> OK
She got back this notice:

I think the problem here may be that the message expired before
the OK was received. How long are messages held pending
approval? Is there a way to change the default length of time?
I had also been assuming that the confirmation code for message
approval did not need to come from the editor to whom the message
was sent. I'd certainly like it to be accepted from any editor.
We have a team of student editors for our KIDCAFE list. When
they get a message they don't know how to handle, they send it to
the adult in charge. I'd certainly expect the adult editor to be
able to approve the message by sending the OK. Is this the way
it works?
Peace, Dan
