Frequently (and right now) it does not.

The TLUG list runs Majordomo version 1.94.5 software.
You can accomplish what you want to do via email.

You can interact with Majordomo by sending it commands in
the *BODY* of email messages addressed to Majordomo-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org

Do *NOT* put commands in the SUBJECT LINE; Majordomo does not
process commands in the subject line.

Send an email from your NEW address:

         FROM: jemlistt-HLeSyJ3qPdM at public.gmane.org
           TO: Majordomo-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
      SUBJECT:
MESSAGE BODY: subscribe tlug
               end

If your new address is valid and reachable, you will
automatically receive two replies:

         FROM: Majordomo-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
           TO: jemlistt-HLeSyJ3qPdM at public.gmane.org
      SUBJECT: Majordomo results
MESSAGE BODY: Your request ... must be authenticated.

If you don't receive that reply, the problem is at your end.

         FROM: Majordomo-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
           TO: jemlistt-HLeSyJ3qPdM at public.gmane.org
      SUBJECT: Confirmation for subscribe tlug
MESSAGE BODY: ...send the following command to Majordomo-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
               auth (hex-code) subscribe tlug jemlistt-HLeSyJ3qPdM at public.gmane.org

Follow those instructions by sending another email:

         FROM: jemlistt-HLeSyJ3qPdM at public.gmane.org
           TO: Majordomo-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
      SUBJECT:
MESSAGE BODY: auth (hex-code) subscribe tlug jemlistt-HLeSyJ3qPdM at public.gmane.org
               end

You will automatically receive two replies:

         FROM: Majordomo-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
           TO: jemlistt-HLeSyJ3qPdM at public.gmane.org
      SUBJECT: Majordomo results
MESSAGE BODY: Succeeded.

         FROM: Majordomo-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
           TO: jemlistt-HLeSyJ3qPdM at public.gmane.org
      SUBJECT: Welcome to tlug
MESSAGE BODY: Welcome to the tlug mailing list!
               Please save this message for future reference.

Do it! THEN, send the following message to the TLUG list:

         FROM: jemlistt-HLeSyJ3qPdM at public.gmane.org
           TO: tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
      SUBJECT: Re: [TLUG]: How do I change my email address?
MESSAGE BODY: So far, so good. My new address is subscribed.

Wait for that message to be received at your OLD address.
When it arrives, send an email from your OLD address:

         FROM: jemcinto-cpI+UMyWUv+w5LPnMra/2Q at public.gmane.org
           TO: Majordomo-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
      SUBJECT:
MESSAGE BODY: unsubscribe tlug
               end
