Once you have subscribed to a list, using your full name, LISTSERV
'remembers' that name associated with that address.  If you later attempt
to change your name to *, it won't work, because LISTSERV still rmembers
you full name.  If you alter your email program settings to completely
remove your Name (leaving only your address), again LISTSERV will remember
your name that goes with that address, and will 'fill-in' the name it
remembers for that address when you send a msg to the list.

The only way to effectively change your name is to change it to something
else in your email program (such as your initials).  Then LISTSERV will
pass whatever is in the msg unchanged by what it remembers.
