I did a little testing, and think I answered my own question. If the list is Send= Editor,Hold then you get two Approved-By headers. If the list is Send= Editor (not Hold), then you get just one. I guess it has to do with the fact that a Hold message can't be changed by the Editor so you can assume that the authour would approve of it, whereas the message of a nohold list can be changed by the Editor and no such assumption about the original author's approval can be made. Right, Eric? If so, very nice subtlety --typical of what I would expect from LISTSERV.
