Subject:   Problems using send-pr with Emacs
Message-ID:  <19991022173603.B316@marder-1>

According to send-pr(1):

	"An  Emacs  user  interface  for send-pr with completion of
       field values is part of the send-pr distribution  (invoked
       with M-x send-pr).  See the file send-pr.info or the ASCII
       file INSTALL in the top level directory of  the  distribu-
       tion  for configuration and installation information.  The
       Emacs LISP template file is send-pr-el.in and is installed
       as send-pr.el."

I copied send-pr-el.in to /usr/local/share/emacs/20.3/lisp/mail/send-pr.el
and managed to compile it in emacs to produce the .elc file, but
``M-x send-pr'' doesn't work.

Also, using Help->Find Emacs Packages and then selecting mail
doesn't show send-pr in the list. Looking at sendmail.el for guidance
I added:

;;; send-pr.el --- mail bug reports to GNATS.

and:

;; Keywords: mail 

to send-pr.el and re-compiled. Still not listed as a package and
``M-x send-pr'' still doesn't work (it just gives ``[no match]''.

So, how the hell do you run send-pr in emacs (v20.3)? Do you have
to "register" the send-pr package or something? The emacs manual
isn't much help here.

Thanks.
