Bug Description
Working with version 2.1.5.
I moderate a few lists. When I go from summary page to
"wiev the detail of individual postings", I get a page
which has a submit button at the bottom.
Similar button should be on the top, as with the
Summary page.
Besides being an inconvenience, this can also be confusing:
I checked "Discard all msgs marked as deferred" on the top,
then moved to the end and pressed the button there.
Of course the upper checkbox had no influence.
Btw: I hope that the "discard all deferred" checkbox
discards only the messages from that dispayed page, not
the messages that might have arrived while themoderator
was staring at the page.
That would be nasty if it weren't this way.

The scope of the problem is greater than that: "Discard all
msgs marked as deferred" does not appear to work at all from
the "details" page, as far as I can tell.
In the summary page, each group of items on which an action ion-SENDER" ' tags, and the
is to be taken is identified with a set of radio buttons
with 'INPUT name="senderact
"senderaction-" prefix is used by the code in Cgi/admindb.py
which processes the "Discard all msgs marked as deferred"
checkbox.
However, the details page uses only the request-id in the
field names, e.g., 'INPUT name="10112"', so they aren't
processed by the same code. I can't find anywhere else in
the code (Mailman 2.1.7) where the discardalldefersp field
is processed.
