As far as I can see, `mail-host-address' is irrelevant when
`user-mail-address' is set. Perhaps, I should just avoid setting it
at all.
Thanks for the clarification.
Then the variables that that I think are salient to a .emacs file and
that should be the same regardless of operating system would be:
user-mail-address
mail-default-reply-to
rmail-delete-after-output
rmail-confirm-expunge
rmail-display-summary
rmail-pop-password-required
rmail-pop-password
rmail-preserve-inbox
Thanks also for these. One point that feels mysterious when you are new
to these is the storing. Is this the same for all different mail agents
in Emacs?
Another mysterious point is the settings for different mail agents. The
setting above seems to suggest that this if for RMAIL only? Is that the
case? If not why are for example rmail-pop-password not called just
mail-pop-password? It does not really look agent specific to me. Or does
the different agents inherit from some common values? I would expect an
inheritance from mail-pop-password => rmail-pop-password if the latter
was not set. It feels natural and from a beginners point it would be
very good.
