Hi,

I've not been an admin of this list for very long, yet I'm already weary of 
telling people who post without being subscribed to the list that they should 
subscribe in order to avoid each of their messages being manually approved. I 
wonder what you (meaning everyone, but especially Mark, the other admin) would 
think about changing the list configuration to reject post from non-members 
instead of holding them on moderation, with a message such as

“Welcome to the lilypond-user mailing list. We apologize, but in order to 
prevent spam, we need you to subscribe to the list before you post. Please fill 
out the subscription form on 
[https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user).

Once you are subscribed, you will receive all posts to the list, so you can 
help out other people as well. However, if you only wish to interact with this 
list infrequently, you may disable mail subscription in your membership 
preferences after you have subscribed.

If you believe you are already subscribed to the list, it probably means that 
you accidentally posted from a different email address than the one you are 
subscribed with.

If you have any question or encounter problems, feel free to contact the list 
admins at lilypond-user-ow...@gnu.org”

On the plus side, this means that instead of delaying the message until Mark or 
me looks at it, the feedback will come instantly.

Jean
