Check you config.sh file, the domain on a -d comes from there.  If it
choose .UUCP, then it was .UUCP in there or '' in there.

This comes from the SHELL environment variable while running Elm, 
or from the config.sh file.

That is correct and expected behavoir, an elmrc file is not needed
unless the defaults are being overridden.  One will be created if the
options menu is chosen and the options saved.
