Is there a problem?
There's also a X-Mailman-Approved-At: Wed, 30 Sep 2009 08:38:09 +0100 header, so it wasn't a technical problem at earth.li.
Why was it held for moderation? I'm guessing, but
1. it quotes the entire digest;
2. it has a poor subject line;
3. it's html email.
Why was it let onto the list? I don't know. I think it should have been returned to the sender with a polite pointer to a "how to write an email for a discussion list" guide.
Having badly-titled, top-post-whole-quote-digest emails is a drain on the community, making every reader waste time reestablishing context, instead of the sender spending a little more time to write the email. All are welcome, but please try to write easy-to-read emails.
Hope that explains,
