Aha! You are quite right Phil. A more careful search shows that every
instance of this string in my mail and news directories is in a message
that is  in a drafts folder; they were never sent!

I was confused by

     ;; Default to this bogus thing.
     (t
      (concat sysname
	      ".i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me")))))

where this value is set. I'd missed that it was trapped later.

Yeah, it is quite amusing. But not when I'm sending formal emails to
potential employers!
