-Holding messages
-================
-
-For this section, we need a mailing list and at least one message.
-
- >>> mlist = create_list('alist@example.com')
- >>> mlist.preferred_language = 'en'
- >>> mlist.display_name = 'A Test List'
- >>> msg = message_from_string("""\
- ... From: aperson@example.org
- ... To: alist@example.com
- ... Subject: Something important
- ...
- ... Here's something important about our mailing list.
- ... """)
-
-Holding a message means keeping a copy of it that a moderator must approve
-before the message is posted to the mailing list. To hold the message, you
-must supply the message, message metadata, and a text reason for the hold. In
-this case, we won't include any additional metadata.
-
- >>> id_1 = moderator.hold_message(mlist, msg, {}, 'Needs approval')
- >>> requests.get_request(id_1) is not None
- True
-
-We can also hold a message with some additional metadata.
-::
-
- # Delete the Message-ID from the previous hold so we don't try to store
- # collisions in the message storage.
- >>> del msg['message-id']
- >>> msgdata = dict(sender='aperson@example.com',
- ... approved=True)
- >>> id_2 = moderator.hold_message(mlist, msg, msgdata, 'Feeling ornery')
- >>> requests.get_request(id_2) is not None
- True
-
-Once held, the moderator can select one of several dispositions. The most
-trivial is to simply defer a decision for now.
-
- >>> from mailman.interfaces.action import Action
- >>> moderator.handle_message(mlist, id_1, Action.defer)
- >>> requests.get_request(id_1) is not None

-For closed lists, subscription requests will also be held for moderator
-approval. In this case, several pieces of information related to the
-subscription must be provided, including the subscriber's address and real

-choosing and their preferred language.
