Subject: [PATCH] ident: do not drop username when reading from /etc/mailname
An earlier conversion from fgets() to strbuf_getline() in the
codepath to read from /etc/mailname to learn the default host-part
of the ident e-mail address forgot that strbuf_getline() stores the
line at the beginning of the buffer just like fgets().
The "username@" the caller has prepared in the strbuf, expecting the
function to append the host-part to it, was lost because of this.
