Jane,

I just received an email notice of a message awaiting approval. Can
I approve moderated messages by email and if so how?

Yes, reply to it.

G.io's email notification contained no instructions whatsoever.

That's odd. Mine do, right below the instructions for handling the message via web. From my notice for your message:

To approve or reject this message using the web, please visit:

/g/GroupManagersForum/pendingmsg?pendingid=269321

To approve this using email, reply to this message. You do not need to
attach the original message, just reply and send.

To reject this message using email, and to have the sender notified of
this, forward this message to:

GroupManagersForum+reject+269321+129+2201963513460888462@groups.io

To delete this message using email, forward this message to:

GroupManagersForum+delete+269321+129+2201963513460888462@groups.io

Maybe you missed them because they are below a quote of the message body? Otherwise maybe there's a glitch of some kind. If they really aren't there you might want to forward an example to [email protected] to get it looked into.

I am sending this to both Help and GroupModerators as I don't know
which is more appropriate.

I consider GMF primarily for group moderators, but open and friendly to anyone, with or without moderator status or the intent to become one.

Although I also moderate at Group_Help, please don't think I'm speaking for its owner. Myself, I think of it as the "generic" help group for Groups.io users.

The original Yahoo lists (Mark's handiwork?), ...

In part. Particularly the email part. For more detail see:

I guessing that G.io has not (yet) felt the need for such
encyclopedic elementary instruction because most of its groups
are still manned by very tecchi-proficient folks.

Mark has been working on it, but more in the wordsmithing of the site pages and controls themselves than (until lately) in the Help pages themselves. In this he's been helped along by some very active members of the beta@ group - suggesting both features and their names and descriptions.

Mark is currently engaged in some enhancement to the (still rather bare-bones) help page. Some sections have been updated, more are in the works. He's invited us to help him along, see GMF's wiki page mock-up of the help page:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Groups.io-Help-page-Mock-up

I also want GMF's wiki to be a good resource for the how-to, tips and tricks, and other information that goes beyond what fits comfortably in official help and support pages. There's clearly going to be some overlap there, but that's ok.
