NSU creates contact but doesn't add to list? Also, name vs. first last name?

    Hi Danny,

    Thank you for this plugin. It’s easier than trying to take iContact’s generated code and manually wrestle it into WordPress’s arcane system for sidebar widgets.

    I just tried it for the first time and I have two problems to report. This is on WordPress 3.9 in case that helps.

    1. I had no trouble getting NSU to create a new contact in my iContacts account. But although I believe I got all the special (hidden) parameters right (including two called “listid” and “reallistid”), these new contacts are not being added to the specific iContact email list that I want them to, and that makes this plugin much less useful for my site. I run multiple lists and I just need my WordPress readers to be subscribed to one of them… not just added to my general iContacts list. Reading through the iContact api docs, it appears that iContact requires a second http POST to add a contact to a specific mailing list. Does NSU even handle that?
    2. I was glad to see that NSU works with a Name field and not only email address. However, my mailing list specifies first name and last name as separate fields. It doesn’t look like NSU has any way to separate the two. Am I seeing that correctly?
