I am wondering how to "tag" a message as "approved".

I have access.  It is not clear what to do.  I am beginning to think
that the solution is:

	su to root
	cd to the dir where the list is
	open the file, add the darn e-mail address
	save file
	done!

Still doesn't work--can't recognize Approved: or approve or whatever.

I've installed several dozen unix programs; this is the worse
documentation I've ever encountered.
