Looks like nobody else has to deal with not-too-computer-savvy moderators... anyway, here's what I came up for pine: ---------------------------------clip--------------------------------- Pine: (1) Create a script, called (say) "OK", somewhere in your PATH ($HOME/bin or whatever) with contents like this: #!/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin # depending on where formail and sendmail are MODERATOR=me@my.domain # moderators address PASSWORD=secret # default password (can be empty) formail -i"Approved: $MODERATOR ${1:-$PASSWORD}" | sendmail -t (2) Make sure you have "enable-unix-pipe-cmd" set in your .pinerc (it can be set via Setup/Configuration menu under "Advanced Command Preferences"). (3) When you want to approve a message, type | OK <return> or if you want to use non-default password, | OK password <return> ---------------------------------clip--------------------------------- I'm not really happy with that but it works and is easy enough to use. Is anybody out there actually using pine for moderating a list? What do you use? -- Tapani Tarvainen
