One of the sticker parts of getting the best OS in the world for free. When
the overworked, understaffed, volunteers don't reply to pleas for help, that
means:
Somewhere between "we don't talk to idiots" (not really) to "you'll figure
it out," on the one axis; between "I am fighting with my significant other"
(probably not) to "I got as many of the most important tasks and responses
done as I could" on the other axis; and between "try, try, try again" (if
you think it that important) to it's in the queue, on the third axis.
I have always just subscribed my new address, then unsubscribed my old.
I don't think there is a change address function. List help reply below:
