Duplicate Moderation (Approval) Queue: Send comment with rejection notification

[x6011718]

In the approval queue for moderated messages, it would be helpful to be able to directly send a short comment to the poster quoting the message and explain why it wasn't approved. At the moment I think we can only reject it and have to start a conversation manually to explain why. Sometimes you just want to alert them for example that the question has already been asked, or perhaps it that it goes against the rules, etc. Sorry if this was already asked/suggested I did look!

The few times I have needed to do this, I approve the post, then delete it (deleting a post allows you to give a reason) or send a PM as you mention. A little more work, but not too much.
