I just tried and they are; noted the ORGANIZATION should point to a file...

I did:
$ export NAME='foo bar'
$ export ORGANIZATION=/etc/networks
$ send-pr

...
>Originator:    foo bar
>Organization:
#       $NetBSD: networks,v 1.5 1998/07/10 06:22:15 fair Exp $
...

In the send-pr display; do you see that?
