I should not have to do that each time.  No.

I believe it is.  I don't see it in any earlier Emacs release.

No.  That's a separate question.  That one I expect,
and that one I get also in earlier releases.

And after going through the whole thing once
(including answering whether I want to save the
updated email address), the next time in the same
session I don't get that do-you-want-to-save-it
question.

But even after saying I wanted to save it, I still
get, in the same session, the same old <my host>.
i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me
address, and not the edited and saved address.
