Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:21:51 +0200

Dear emacs users/developers,

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=923418

I have a question. I know that emacs does not modify hostname.
That's correct.

But my question is whether emacs can check validity of hostname during start
and in case of failure inform user that hostname is wrong.

Greetings
