Bug Description
From mailman-users:
It appears that while the Approved: header is standard in Usenet for
posting to moderated groups, it's use for email and email lists has
never been standardized (RFC 2076, Sec 3.4). Thus, your point is well
taken.

For backward compatibility I would support both Approved: and X-Approved: headers. Just in case so that after an upgrade the Approved: header is not shared with the whole mailing-list (exposing your password). The documentation could indicate X-Approved: as being supported and deprecate the usage of Approved: ?
