Description Alan Eldridge 2001-12-10 04:30:00 UTC 
Send-pr uses $LOGNAME as email address.

Patch uses $MAILNAME, then $(<~/.mailname), then $LOGNAME.

Fix: ---8<-snip---8<-snip---8<-snip---8<-snip---8<-snip---8<-snip---8<---
How-To-Repeat: 
Run send-pr. Look at names in <angle-brackets> on From and Reply To lines.

I've been sitting on this too long and don't even remember the 
background for this issue. Returning to the regular bugs queue. Sorry 
about dropping the ball.

I kind of like the idea, but I cannot find a system that knows what 
~/.mailname, and therefore I surmise that the usefulness of this would 
be somewhat dminished.
