When I update email addresses, the distributions lists that address is in do
not update automatically or even when I press update; I have to remove the
old one and go in and add the new address -- and then I have to find it under
the person's first name, even though the default is the Organization, then
Last, then First. Is my software defective, is there a patch, or what can I
do? Thanks!

As far as I know this feature has never worked and I know of no plans to fix
it. Very few of us use DL's because they are so unreliable and featureless.

Russ never said DLs didn't work.  He said the Update Now button didn't work.

Most users just give up on DL's and use separate Contact subfolders or
categories to group Contacts.
