Ouch, I tried this in the past and found it really annoying.

Yeah, I take exactly two seconds for each email.  No browser, no
nothing, just a single keypress for each moderation request.  Way too slow.

Now I understand why Greg talked about the need to "run the moderation
on his own schedule".  If you're gonna take fifteen minutes to do it,
sure, you don't want to interrupt your normal email flow.
