Dan,

I believe that the issue of using PINE or other UNIX-based email client 
came up because there is no known windows client that can properly 
RE-send the message with the "Approved:" header added properly to the 
HEADERS rather than the body.

Mozilla can easily be made to add the header, but the forwarded/resent 
message would then appear from the moderator's address not the original 
sender/poster.

      - Burt
