Thanks Jim and Carey, your suggestion to add (setq user-mail-address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") to the .emacs or .vm file did the trick.
Is there any place these variables are documented, I looked through the Info pages but couldn't find anything. Emacs really is a lifestyle and I'd like to find out more before I commit to it entirely. Thanks Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
