Michael -
I suppose one could identify two cases:
- If the default address came from a jack configuration file or a
jack-specific environment variable like JACK_EMAIL then no prompt
should be needed.
- If the default address came from a generic environment variable
EMAIL or even [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/mailname` then there is a greater chance
the default is wrong, so a prompt is called for.
However, I don't think the first point is a strong one. I.e.:
> You don't mind being prompted for the email address as long as the
> default is correct.

Your subject says "--submit should not request email address every
time" but what you really want is just being able to fill in an
appropriate default, right? You don't mind being prompted for the
email address as long as the default is correct. Or should jack not
prompt at all when $EMAIL or some config variable is set?
