I have problems with add-change-log-entry using the "wrong"
user-mail-address for new entries.

I have made user-mail-address local using
,----[.emacs]
| (make-variable-buffer-local 'user-mail-address)
`----

When I set it locally in some buffer (i.e. via a local variables
section) that works perfectly, as I can check by C-h k C-h v. 

However, a-c-l-e does seem to cache the value internally. It always
does the right thing [1] when called for the first time in a session,
but the keeps using exactly that mail address for the whole session.

Is there a way to tell it to re-assemble the name/email string every
time? Or can I provide it the string automatically in some way? I have
tried playing around with add-change-log-entry, but I could not find a
way to programatically set the name/email string to use. 

I.e. how could I modify the following to get what I want?
,----
| (defun jk/add-change-log-entry ()
|   "*Add change-log entry without asking for filename."
|   (interactive)
|   (add-change-log-entry nil change-log-default-name))
`----

Thank you for your help in advance.

Greetings,
Jochen

Thanks for the hint. However, that variable shows the same behavior.

Now I found out that the same issue was brought up before:
,----

I could not find a solution using google, and apparently add-log from
GNU Emacs 21.3.1 still shows the same problem. Any takers?

Is it as easy as setting add-log-mailing-address (and -full-name, while
we're at it) after visiting the ChangeLog file (instead of before)?

Here's my idea of how to fix this.  Does it work right?
