 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?
