Could this not be automated in the footer link, e.g. by including the Message-ID?
Technically you could automate it in a variety of ways. e.g. Each message through the list gets a "report me" link added to it with a their unique ID in the link. Or, you forward an entire message (headers and all) to an automatic assessor.
However, you would need some double-checks to stop miscreants deliberately abusing the system by falsely reporting normal messages. The simplest one being that a certain number of people would have to report the same post to get past a threshold.
Yes, that would make sense. And presumably some sort of check against list membership.
Every post has a Archived-At: header that provides a link to that exact message in the archives. That can be provided to identify the message.
That's helpful.
