Addendum:  
If “_approve unless trust level_” and “_approve new topics unless trust level_” are set to a high level, email retention works as I would expect:  
Notification mails to mailinglist subscribers are hold back until manual approvement.

Why does “_review every post_” not achieve the same behavior?
