For each moderation request I get, I press a single key. Either "A" or
"R" (yes, I wrote a script for this and set up a mutt macro. Does you
MUA allow you to bind keys to macros?). And I get to see the message to
check if it's actual spam or not. These condensed lists of yours are a
mess because you can't readily tell without looking at the content, thus
leading to opening new windows or tabs. Plus, I get the moderation
requests on the regular inbox, so they get handled right away and
discarded (the single key macro I wrote takes care of deleting the mail
as well).
I don't see how the web stuff can be any simpler.
