When using the -f option of inews, the fullname will not appear
on the article header. This is because in the command line decoding
loop, an extra space is stuck on the end of the username. The space
causes the lookup routine fullname() to fail.
You will run into this problem in particular if you are using
the mail (recnews) interface to inews.
A diff -c of one way to fix the problem follows. (For those familiar
with the code, you could just change the filchar from ' ' to '\0',
but then command lines like "inews -f user at site ...." would no longer
work. This might be acceptable behavior, though)
