Package: gnats-user
Version: 3.999.20010225-2
Severity: wishlist

When the 3.999 query-pr is used with a version 3.113 server, such as
GNATSDB=sources.redhat.com:1529:automake:guest:guest, the error given
is

        query-pr: cannot understand 500 `Unrecognized command.'

It'd be good if it could recognise the server is old, since otherwise
a mug like me is left scratching his head about what's wrong.

send-pr is similarly affected, but more subtly since it brings up a
message to edit, but without a template.
