>Description:
	send-pr would find the first match on my $LOGNAME, era, in
	/etc/passwd, and assume that was my record. Well it's not.
	Diffs below.

	Also, the comments at the beginning of the send-pr report as I
	see it right now would be nice to have customized. I know
	somebody already complained about the lack of documentation
	for send-pr but seeing as the "Choose from the following
	categories" part is already customized, why not fix the part
	that implies that there is a send-pr(1) man page? (Or why not
	just include the man page in the distribution? Do you need a
	volunteer to customize it?) If a custom page is made, it
	should probably outline what the categories are supposed to
	mean. 

	-*- send-pr -*- confuses Emacs when there is in fact no
	send-pr-mode installed.

	Apparently part of this report should go to the GNATS team but
	I hope you can forward it to them. Thanks.

>How-To-Repeat:
	       $ echo $LOGNAME
		era
	       $ sed -e /"$LOGNAME"/'{s/^\([^:]*\):.*/\1/' -e q -e } -e d /etc/passwd
		operator
