[thelist] Paypal IPN integration help request

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

	I guess the next question would be whether PayPal actually lets
you send the name/address fields; are you sure this is something you can

All of the address fields and the payer business name fields are
missing.  They are populated when I submit, they just aren't returned
when paypal comes back to me.
