+The administrative requests are displayed in one of two ways, on a <a
+href="%(summaryurl)s">summary page</a>, and on a <em>details</em>
+page. The summary page contains pending subscription and
+unsubscription requests, as well as postings being held for your
+approval, grouped by sender email address. The details page contains
+a more detailed view of each held message, including the all the
+message's headers and an excerpt of the message body.
+
+<p>On all the pages, the following actions are available:
+
+<ul>
+<li><b>Defer</b> -- Defer your decision until later. No action is
+ taken now for this pending administrative request, but for held
+ postings, you can still forward or preserve the message (see
+ below).
+
+<p><li><b>Approve</b> -- Approve the message, sending it on to the list.
+ For membership requests, approve the change in membership status.
+
+<p><li><b>Reject</b> -- Reject the message, sending a rejection notice to
+ the sender, and discarding the original message. For membership
+ requests, reject the change in membership status. In either case,
+ you should add a reason for the rejection in the accompanying text
+ box.
+
+<p><li><b>Discard</b> -- Throw away the original message, without sending
+ a rejection notice. For membership requests, this simply discards
+ the request without notice to the person making the request. This
+ is usually the action you want to take for known spam.
+</ul>
+
+<p>For held messages, turn on the <b>Preserve</b> option if you want
+to save a copy of the message for the site administrator. This is
+useful for abusive messages that you want to discard, but need to keep
+a record of for later inspection.
+
+<p>Turn on the <b>Forward to</b> option, and fill in the forwarding
+address if you want to forward the message to someone else not on the
+list. To edit a held message before it is sent on to the list, you
+should forward the message to yourself (or the list owners), and
+discard the original message. Then, when the message shows up in your
+mailbox, make your edits and resend the message to the list, including
+an <tt>Approved:</tt> header with the list password as its value. It
+is proper netiquette in this case to include a note in the resent
+message, explaining that you have modified the text.
+
+<p>If the sender is a list member who is being moderated, you can
+optionally clear their moderation flag. This is useful when your list
+is configured to put new members on probation, and you've decided that
+this member can be trusted to post to the list without approval.
+
+<p>If the sender is not a list member, you can add the email address to
+a <em>sender filter</em>. Sender filters are described on the <a
+href="%(filterurl)s">sender filter privacy page</a>, and may be one of
+<b>auto-accept</b> (Accepts), <b>auto-hold</b> (Holds),
+<b>auto-reject</b> (Rejects), or <b>auto-discard</b> (Discards). This
+option will not be available if the address is already on one of the
+sender filters.
+
+<p>When you're finished, click on the <em>Submit All Data</em> button
+at the top or bottom of the page. This button will submit all
+selected actions for all administrative requests that you've made a
+decision for.
