Hi,

dch does not honour DEBEMAIL. I've set it in my ~/.bashrc

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I also tryed

  DEBEMAIL="Martin Lohmeier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"

I could see the correct value of DEBEMAIL by using

  echo $DEBEMAIL

But when I use dch -i I always have:

   -- Martin Lohmeier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  Wed, 12 Jul 2006 13:59:59 +0200

blackm is my login name and localhost.localdomain is the content of 
/etc/mailname.
According to the manpage, DEBEMAIL should be read first...

I could reproduce this on sarge (i386) and etch (ppc and i386).

bye, Martin
