26.1; ERC: erc-send-current-line does not expand global abbrevs

[Bradley M. Kuhn]

erc-send-current-line does not expand abbrevs from the global abbrevs
table.  In most modes, hitting <RET> at the end of a line will in fact
expand the abbrev at the point, but hitting <RET> at the end of a line in an
ERC buffer on an IRC channel (which, in ERC mode, is bound to
erc-send-current-line) does not expand the abbrev.

BTW, Thank you so much for ERC and GNU Emacs.  I use both daily!
