[cobalt-users] More Specific Majordomo Question

The Majordomo FAQ at Great Circle says the following about a method where
moderators can approve their own messages going out to a moderated list. I
am most interested in the last sentence. Does the cobalt MUA allow us to
add headers to a message?
Thanks,
Christopher
THIS IS WHAT THE FAQ SAYS:
It's also possible, if your mailer allows it, to approve a message another
way by just inserting an Approved: header in the original body and passing
the original message on without adding your own header. This is in a sense
"forging" mail, so many mailers either won't allow it or will insert some
sort of authentication warning. This form is used most often by moderators
when they send mail to the list and don't want to go and approve their own
message again. Here's an example:
To: your-list@xxxxxxxxxxx
Approved: your-approval-password
Subject: Thanks!
I like this list too, but sorry, I'm married! :-)

Note that this requires a mail-user-agent (MUA) that allows one to add
headers to a message. If your MUA doesn't let you do this, you'll need to
use the first method.
