What do you mean 'thru Explorer'?  If you are contemplating direct editing of
the *.LIST files you should know that that is unsupported, and since they are
binary files you will very likely corrupt the files and destroy your list(s).
this is NOT a good thing.

IF you are running LISTSERV 1.8d you can use the CHANGE command.

 CHANGE *  old@address  new@address
