A moderator can approve an HTML message, but can not do it WITH an HTML message.
The approval must be sent in pure plain text. It can be done in outlook, eudora,
and netscape, but MUST be done in plain text. I can not stress this enough. If
you use an HTML mail client that does not allow you to directly maniplate headers,
there is no way you can get the approved: password header in the headers block of
the message. This is NOT a bug or a configuration error. This is by design.
Majordomo needs plain text. You can demime messages before they get to majordomo
but you will still need to send approvals in plain text.
Even if you change majordomo to look for ^approved: password deeper in the message
body, you would also have to preserve the lines in-between the end of the headers
and the line you find. Otherwise, majordomo will delete them, thus destroying the
proper format and content of the html anyway.
