Where do the hyphens/en dashes go?

"non address change related requests"

I would look it up myself, but I don't have a copy of Chicago here.

It should just be hyphens. An en dash would be used after non if part of the compound were open, but "address-change-related" should be hyphenated.

Okey dokey. That's what I did, but I needed to make sure.

Also, thanks. And what on earth is your signature referring to?

I wish that I could still read Eric Snider.

It's from his review of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
