[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ uname --help
[snip]
  -p, --processor          print the processor type or "unknown"
  -i, --hardware-platform  print the hardware platform or "unknown"
  -o, --operating-system   print the operating system
[snip]
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ uname -opi
unknown unknown GNU/Linux
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/issue
Arch Linux \r (\l)

Unlikely, likely it's -o since the guess isn't "FreeBSD", but
"unknown-linux-gnu". The output of -o is correct, "GNU/Linux", the
distro and as the circumstances require the release too, is specified
in /etc/issue. Since Arch Linux is a real rolling release, no release
is mentioned.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a drama, that the X-Mailer information
doesn't look nice :D.
