This points up again the need for a change address command.  Subscriber
names can be updated with ADD, but there's no way other than manually
editing the list to change the email address without losing the
subscriber's settings.  Yes, you can QUERY, DELETE, ADD, and SET, but
that's not a very reasonable process to have to go through.
 
Also, wouldn't it be better for the default for GET to be just the
header?  Right now it's an invitation to mess up the subscriber
list.
