If you do an ADD listname email@address * the email@address subscription will be associated with the name (Name not available) or something similar. Also if you just have a firstname you could do something like ADD listname email@address Firstname . which I've done from time to time. Neither of these is completely automated so they probably aren't quite what you want, but they're there if you need them. -jwgh
