FWIW it isn't entirely clear to me that my config is buggy. Unfortunately I don't recall how I got it this way -- I suspect I did a standard Fedora install but did not specify a domain name (IOW, this may not affect just me). I don't really have a domain I would put my machine in, and I think a reasonable number of people may fall into this category. Emacs picking "localhost.localdomain" over the actual name of my machine still seems a bit odd. Tom
