This is the second mail today that needs moderator approval. The weird 
thing is that he accepted my initial mail, but not the reply (and 
conclusion) to myself ?

I was experiencing this a lot recently.  I asked Mr Anvin himself and
he said that the particular culprit with my e-mails at least was that
they were in HTML format (with Opera 9b gmail suddenly allows me to
choose rich formatting, which forces HTML mode.)  By switching to
plain text again I found that none of my e-mails had to await approval
anymore.

Of course, "awaiting moderate approval due to suspicious header" can
still very well mean there is something that APPEARS as if it were
spam or some other such thing, so do ensure there's nothing suspicious
if the problem persists.

The "Message has a suspicious header" appears when the message is
signed
and the signature is MIME attached.

I have never raised this problem before, I'm waiting for the right
moment (like now :-)  A while ago had this mailinglist a request
for an extra moderator. Alexander stepped forward, but there was never
a "Okay, you have the job" ( at least, I didn't see it ).  So I
assume
this ML is understaffed and that the possibillity to done MIME  PGP
as in RFC3156 MIME Security with OpenPGP (Updates RFC2015)
will take some more time ...
