} List owner has received the (sanitized) message below.  Is there a simple way, administratively, to "clean up" the username information stored in the LISTSERV(tm) signup file, to take out the MSN banner garbage?

} the ListName list (list description).

If the list is subscribe by owner, you fix it before you send it in.

After the fact, just send a subscribe again to listserv and it will
overlay the bad name.

i.e.

// JOB PW=your_password
QUIET ADD listname [log in to unmask] Firstname  Lastname
// EOJ

I am not sure how the hotmail users can avoid this.  Perhaps a few blank
lines after the listserv command?
