>Description:
	jtc just assigned me a gnats customer id, and told me that
	I should set the SUBMITTER environment variable before running
	send-pr.  Well, as it turns out, send-pr ignores the SUBMITTER
	environment variable.

>How-To-Repeat:
	SUBMITTER=test
	export SUBMITTER
	send-pr
	(you'll see that the Submitter-Id field has been initialized to "net")

>Fix:
diff -c  src/gnu/usr.bin/send-pr/send-pr.sh.mhw1 src/gnu/usr.bin/send-pr/send-pr.sh
