A further note...I finally located my saved copy of the confirmation
message that I sent back to Listserv, and the "From" address in it was
my new address, not the old one.  I think that was accidental, not my
intent, but it conforms to the stated documentation.  Everything else,
including the confirmation being sent to my OLD address, stands as
written.

I'm not really inclined to try this again until I've changed my list
headers and am ready to run with the new address.  I knew I could get
away with posting from this old address to the list (which I own)
where I changed my subscription because this address is still defined
as the editor there.
