For each moderation request I get, I press a single key. Either "A" or "R" (yes, I wrote a script for this and set up a mutt macro. Does you MUA allow you to bind keys to macros?). And I get to see the message to check if it's actual spam or not. These condensed lists of yours are a mess because you can't readily tell without looking at the content, thus leading to opening new windows or tabs. Plus, I get the moderation requests on the regular inbox, so they get handled right away and discarded (the single key macro I wrote takes care of deleting the mail as well). I don't see how the web stuff can be any simpler. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
