AFAIK, the address gets set as follows:

- If the EDITADDR gnatsd command was issued, use the given e-mail
  address.

- Otherwise if the login name is in the `responsible' file, the e-mail
  address stated there is used.

- Otherwise use the localhost e-mail address.

I'll document it in the manual.
