Dear Bug Team! Hello, each time I try to go to the menu: options -> Advanced (Customize) -> Emacs -> faces I get stuck with a prompt in the mini-buffer: Your email address?ain＠LLB006 (which is not my email) Am I the first one to encounter this situation on windows 2000 station? So I'm trying to set my email address: [1] Options -> Advanced (Customize) -> Emacs -> Applications -> Mail -> User Mail Address ... And this is what I see: (The arrowhead is copied here as a star *) user-mail-address: * ain(a)cea.fr [State]: you have edited the value as text, but you have not set the option. (mismatch) Full mailing address of this user. * This is initialized based on `mail-host-address', after your init file is read, in case it sets `mail-host-address'. Comment: Parent groups: [Message] [Mail] and in the minibuffer I get: user-mail-address: ain(a)cea\.fr Finally when trying to report (unsuccessfully) on that thing, through M-x report-Xemacs-bug, I've been asked to confirm my email, which I did, and this saved the correct email address. So indirectly I finally entered my correct email and I'm not anymore stuck at the option/advanced....faces. michel Ain LLB Saclay ps: by the way, how to define `smtpmail-smtp-server`
