I think that listserv doesn't use its stored name in the outgoing mail
*unless* mail arrives with no name.  Thus if she's sending:
        From: Marcia Requa <[log in to unmask]>
or
        From: [log in to unmask] (Marcia Requa)
it will be posted that way rather than what's stored.  (Note: IETFHDR
subscribers *never* see the stored name.)  Given this, she'll need
to change what she sends out on her mail (the means of which depends
on how she sends mail) if she cares.

This post is a test of that--if my middle initial shows in the From:
header, then it's using my From: header on this mail, and not the
stored name from when I subscribed.  (If it doesn't show, then ignore
the above.  :-)
