To field in personal contact form always blank [#88945]

The "To:" line of the personal contact form is supposed to display the username of the user whose contact page you're viewing. Instead it's blank (although the code appears to be correct and it works as expected in 4.7).

Patch simply removes the "To:" field from the form since it isn't working, and the username is already displayed as the page title anyways.

The original patch simply gets rid of the problematic code - of course, that's not the best solution - it should be fixed instead!

The page title set in contact_user_page() works as expected.

  drupal_set_title($account->name);
  $output = drupal_get_form('contact_mail_user');

The to line in contact_mail_user() doesn't.

$form['to'] = array('#type' => 'item',
  '#title' => t('To'),
  '#value' => $account->name,
);

I think I found the issue - $account was initialised in the parent function (contact_user_page()), but not in contact_mail_user(). Consequently the output was always blank.

Patch adds a line to initialize $account in contact_mail_user().
