Unless the message is from one of the moderators - then only the originator is presented the message for approval. This "exception" is specifically the object of discussion - we have a need for *every message* regardless of origin to be presented to *every moderator* every time. One particular case illustrated by this comment "...the original poster who went to a meeting and is now unavailable" from Pete Weiss below, meaning a moderator sent a message to the list, but is no longer at their desk by the time the approval notice shows up in their email inbox, and nobody else is presented with a notice, so the message doesn't get distributed in a timely manner, waiting for the originator to return from the meeting. I will point out that the "All Moderators" check box on the web interface for list moderation provides a degree of relief from this problem, but is not sufficient. I am also very happy to see that Eric Thomas finds this idea "would be generally useful" and look forward to seeing it in an upcoming version. >>> [log in to unmask] 9/23/2005 11:57:57 AM >>> Use Moderator= All,addr1,addr2,...,addrn All n moderators will get the note and any one can approve it.

Given the time lag between [authorized] poster sending, listserv processing, and the cookie mechanism, it is very useful for that Approval request message to go to more than one authorized moderator, not just back to the original poster who went to a meeting and is now unavailable. > >/P
