I often approve a message via e-mail and it does not appear. I've heard
others say the same happens to them. I have no idea if this is what happened
here. I noticed my reply had not appeared when I quoted Tim's words
yesterday morning in the "porthole" thread.
I see no probelm with the current setup. But, this problem could be helped
if there were a way to view all our unposted/unapproved messages in one swoop.
