I wanted to have it use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is of course neither my hostname, nor my mailname. To do that, I set the "user-mail-address" variable for the debian-changelog mode explicitly as in Local variables: mode: debian-changelog user-mail-address: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" End: Works just fine. -- Dirk Eddelb"uttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
