There are two issues here, and both independent of each other.
o Issue #1, is the question of online archive.
o Issue #2, is that of moderated content display.
Issue #1: This is an automated process for nearly all mailing
list software. Depending upon the software being used, it can
be one of these only:
Provider definable:
a) Online archive = NO (like coollist, as on date)
b) Online archive = YES (no switch off facilities unless speci-
fically set that way by mail-list provider) (?freelists)
User defineable:
c) Either YES or NO (in software like GNU mailman).
I am not aware of what freelists provides (probably running on
encartis). It looks more like option (b) to me. In which case,
online archive in unaltered state will be there whether one
likes it or not. No moderation is possible here since the whole
process is automated on receipt of each mail by the mailing
list software itself. The goose here is cooked even before the
cooks can think of putting their pudgy fingers into it !!!
Issue #2: Moderated content display. This is totally a manual
process and has nothing to do with the mailing list per se. It
is a matter of content milking. If there are takers why not ...
Issue #3: All else are non-issues ;-)
