That's not what he asked, is it...?????!!! OP: "how do I MODIFY my address WITHOUT doing unsubscribe/subscribe" Wise guy: "The answer is... unsubscribe.. subscribe" HElloooOO...??? Anybody home...??? I took a quick look, and I did not see any way you can do it. And I think this is about as lame as it gets. So basically you have to fill out the subscription form again, reply to the email to confirm your subscription... etc. Wise guy: "That's not too hard" Yeah, right.. Imagine for a second the OP is subscribed to .. TEN.. TWENTY.. different debian mailing lists... Or is there a recommendation somewhere that says that it is foolish to subscribe to more than one (two?) debian list(s) at the same time...???? The GNU mailing lists for instance have an easy to access option where you can edit your subscription options, including specifying a new email address. > I'm afraid your logic is not mine! > The correct answer to my question is: "that's not possiblë with debian lists" Apparently, there are people here who can't read. If they cannot provide anything more positive such as indicating how this situation could be improved, maybe they should have simply said 'sorry, debian uses lousy mailing list management software or is not set up properly and there's nothing our volunteers can do about it.' The latter would probably not make the OP happy, but I'm sure he would have been OK with that.. and that answer would certainly be preferable than half a dozen messages that only show that the their authors did not even bother to read his post. Maybe the famous 'how to ask smart questions' document needs to be complemented by 'how to avoid posting dumb replies'.
