   You answered your own questions. :)  To change the name associated
with a subscription the subscriber would simply send the SUBSCRIBE
command again with their name included.  This also has the effect of
changing ANONYMOUS to full_name.  LISTSERV interprets the new
subscription request as a simple name change if it finds the address
requesting the subscription in the subscriber database for that list.

   Hope that helps.
