ASP.Net: why is my button's click/command events not binding/firing in a repeater?

Here's the code from the ascx that has the repeater:

<asp:Repeater ID="ListOfEmails" runat="server" >
    <HeaderTemplate><h3>A sub-header:</h3></HeaderTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
        [Some other stuff is here]
        <asp:Button ID="removeEmail" runat="server" Text="X" ToolTip="remove" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

And in the codebehind for the repeater's databound and events:

Protected Sub ListOfEmails_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles ListOfEmails.ItemDataBound
    If (e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item) Or (e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem) Then
        Dim removeEmail As Button = CType(e.Item.FindControl("removeEmail"), Button)
        removeEmail.CommandArgument = e.Item.ItemIndex.ToString()

        AddHandler removeEmail.Click, AddressOf removeEmail_Click
        AddHandler removeEmail.Command, AddressOf removeEmail_Command
    End If
End Sub

Sub removeEmail_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    Response.Write("<h1>click</h1>")
End Sub

Sub removeEmail_Command(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CommandEventArgs)
    Response.Write("<h1>command</h1>")
End Sub

Neither the click or command is getting called, what am I doing wrong?
