> I do a quiet add and quiet delete in one message to the listserv. Craig The quiet delete isn't needed, unless the address has changed. If you are just changing the "name" field all you need is: quiet add userid@node firstname lastname and LISTSERV "updates" it for you, sends you confirmation it has been done, or an error if you messed up somewhere. Just be sure you get the userid@node exactly as it is given in the sub list or you will be adding a new subscription rather than changing the name field. Not trusting myself, I often use a quick cut-'n-paste (and then of course forget the name field so have to do it over).
