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.
