This states:
"""
4) Any held message that is later approved for distribution on the
   mailing list should appear on the list as a normal posting (e.g.,
   with the proper sender in the From address, etc.).
"""

Later, however, you write:

Including someone's private subscription address is not done for a  
normal posting. Doing it for a held message is a violation of the rule  
above, no?
