'J' -

While it does not make it clear.. what you are forced to do is to sign off
the list using your old email address and then resign up under your new
email address.. this is the way it is with many email groups... and what is
bad is now that you (and others) have already changed your email address you
will have a hard time signing off, and since it looks as if
'COX'/'Roadrunner' will forward email from your older account to your newer
email address fro a while you might receive two copies of everything...

I have run into this a number of times when I was forced to change my email
address in the past... FutureNet, to Feist, to OneMain, to Swbell.... all
three of my former email addresses were set up to forward email to the new
address from 30 to 120 days before the email was bounced/returned back to
the sender.
