[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!  :-)

-- your moderator

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.
