On our list, any message that is OKed by the editor contains an
"approved-by" line in its header to that effect.  Both of these lines
appear in a posting by John Smith:
 
Approved-By: John Smith <[log in to unmask]>
Approved-By: Bob <[log in to unmask]>
 
I haven't checked this recently, but this is the way I remember seeing
it.  I'm not sure if this will look any different from the header in a
list that is moderated.  The line:
 
Approved-By: Bob <[log in to unmask]>
 
does not appear in a posting that was posted without first having to be
OKed.  I set subscribers to REVIEW for any number of reasons.  Usually
simply to keep an eye on a newbie who keeps making mistakes or to watch out
for someone who has tried to post commercial announcements.  We
sometimes switch to full moderation for a week or two if problems seem
to be getting out of hand.  We certainly don't intend that any stigma be
attached to REVIEW.
