It works. :)  At least in my testing so far!

Could you also add “MailMan ▸ Reject”?  It should be identical to 
“MailMan ▸ Approve”, except don't prompt for password if not set 
and don't add an Approved: line to the message.

Does the “MailMan ▸ Set Password” store a password per list?  I've 
only played with one list so far but I have a boatload of lists on 
different servers with different passwords.

Thanks for implementing this!  Together with Max's ListMate, my life 
with hundred of mailing lists has become a little more fun to live 
again. :)
