Subscriber.AddAndResubscribe

Adds a subscriber (email address, name) to an existing subscriber list. If the subscriber (email address) already exists, the name value is updated with whatever is passed in.

If the list has been set as double opt-in, they will be sent the verification email, otherwise they will be sent the confirmation email you have set up for the list being subscribed to.

Please note: If the subscriber is in an inactive state or has previously been unsubscribed, they will be re-added to the active list. Therefore, this method should be used with caution and only where suitable.
