Exactly the same way. Sorta sounds like approve isn't getting the
complete Subject header, but you can run approve with a '-d' option so
that instead of mailing the approved message it displays it on stdout.
Also be sure you're using the version of approve that matches your Mj
installation (compare it to the file in the source distribution).
