In GNU Emacs 19.27.2 (i586-pc-bsd386, X toolkit) of Sat Sep 24 1994 on norval.clark.net The new user-mail-address variable is quite useful. One feature that would make it more robust is if there were a way to set it such that it would use a generic form. That is, my current machine is "kci.kcilink.com", but the address I wish to use is "kcilink.com". Similarly, at school, we use "cs.duke.edu" instead of the FQDN of the individual machines. Obviously, this would need to be controlled in the site-start.el file, or the site-init.el file, since it is probably used within the .emacs file. Right now, I just setq the variable to my current address, but if there were a way to tell Emacs to use the generic form, I could just copy my .emacs file to other machines and have it work as expected without modifications. Thanks.
