I read the documentation on ALIASES in Section 5.10. This sounds like it
only works on the Internet host name part of the address. In my case, the
user's name also changes, ie from [log in to unmask] to [log in to unmask]
So - am I back to globally changing the address thru Explorer (and will
that corrupt any of the addresses)? Thanks.

It might be easier just to change your Listserv's ALIASES.NODES file to
set up a Listserv alias for the old and new hostnames. If you do this, be
sure to report the change to [log in to unmask] so that your change is
reflected in their master copy of the file.
