The way I handle it (for a web account) is:

The change address form should simply call the existing subscribe and
unsubscribe routines. That way any rules setup for subscribe and unsubscribe
still apply.
The only other wrinkle should be that the options on the old email address
get carried over to the new address.

As has been stated, it would be relatively easy to hack on a "change
email address to" box to the per-user mailman options set.
However when the v

It's funny you guys should even argue about this, since it's already
coded in bin/clone-member -r and just needs a CGI interface wrapped
around it, (which I plan to try doing in PHP or Python shortly ;-)
It's just a matter of authenticating a member (though a Mailman list

This is very different, I think, for those of us who run social, and
especially sex-related, lists. People create and delete AOL screennames,

"How do I change my subscription address" is about the only questi
Hey Dan, when can you have that butt-wiping fix ready?
I've got a few users that need all the help they can get!
IMHO, the "change email address and retain settings" action
is only one of a number of things someone might want to do.
Subscribing under multiple addresses is quite legitimate as

A frequently recurring question from members of a list I manage is
how they can change their addresses. Of course, this can simply be
