Bug#2476: emacs mucks up my email address



Package: emacs
Version: 19.30-1

Emacs appends my locally configured host name to my name when I send
email.

This is bad.

[My machine is not registered in DNS -- the local network
administrator has consistently refused to allow me to register it.
Even when I made arrangements to get it registered in someone else's
domain with a backup name server, yadda, yadda.  Thus, I receive email
via other machines, and for convenience have assigned an unregistered
but otherwise valid name to my machine.

Emacs has been a good mail user agent for quite some time.  I don't
understand why it, be default, presumes that the mail configuration on
this machine is broken and changes my email address to suit its
tastes.]

[Did I have to hack 19.29 to work properly?  I forget.]

Aside: my working email address is rdm@tad.micro.umn.edu.  The address
that emacs wants to put on is rdm@rdm.legislate.com.
rdm@legislate.com can receive mail, mail gets mangled horribly (it's
msmail).

I've set the Reply-to: header on this message, but not the From: I'll
see how it works.
