- + In the case of moderated notesfiles where submissions should be
- + sent to the notesfile topic administrator, the behavior of ``w'' is
- + changed slightly.
- + When writing a new note the notesfile system will prompt to
- + say, ``Moderated, send mail to moderator?''
- + A response of ``y'' will invoke the mail program with the To: line set
- + to the moderator's name.
- + The text entered will not be entered into the notesfile.
- + Instead a mail message with the text is sent to the topic administrator.
- + He or she will check the submission for appropriateness, then insert it
- + into the notesfile for distribution.

- + Writing a response in a moderated notesfile invokes the mail program without
- + prompting.
