I think I might have been the person that switched this list from per-email to digest moderator emails - the list was certainly getting quite a bit of spam back when I was a list admin, and I doubt the situation has improved since then.
I would support Fæ being taken off moderation here, but it was because of Fæ that I had to stop being a list admin. :-/ So I would ask whether his current emails support people contributing, or if they put others off contributing... (I should probably ask the same about my own emails at the moment, sadly.)
Thanks, Mike

David, perhaps (unless the list gets large volumes of spam? In which case it would be impractical) you could set it to email the list admins when an email is received, rather than just once a day when there are pending emails.
Or you and Fae could come to an agreement whereby Fae's could be taken of moderation?
I'll just note that I had not received Fae's email via wikimediauk-l when I checked my emails this morning, which is why I forwarded it for him, and this is precisely the sort of nonsense that puts people off contributing - we can't even just congratulate Joe on being interviewed by Radio 4 without a row about list moderation.

The time and date "Sat Apr 26 11:17:59 UTC 2014" was when I sent the email, not when it was posted to the list. Could you publish the time it was published to the list?
The mod queue emails the mods every morning at 8am UTC; it's attended to some time after that.
