[MlMt] ListMate - for those with too many mailing lists

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hey,

Okey so that is going to require a bit more work than I got time for 
now.
There aren't a good mail header in that mail to easily find the right 
thing to do.

I guess you just need to ask Benny (right ?) how to script mailmate to 
reply to a mail.

But that said, I think a simpler mechanism would be to just click reply 
and then use something like
TextExpander to have a /approv or similar shortcut for inserting the 
"Approved: moderator-password" in your response ?
