Hi Remi,

When you say "for non-Mozilla User-Agents", do you mean browsers that 
aren't the Mozilla browser?  If so that might be because plenty of 
other browsers' User-Agent strings also start with "Mozilla...", e.g. 
An up to date Internet Explorer (on Win Me) sends this header:

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)

There's an excellent (and loong) list of user-agent strings categorised 
by browser name and version at

 <http://www.pgts.com.au/pgtsj/pgtsj0212d.html>

in an HTML table or as a tab-separated ASCII file (very useful).

You might want to make your regexp match on something more specific 
(though judging from the list at the above url it's not clear in the 
general case what that might be!).  You mention in your original email 
that this is only for your site indexer -- can you make that issue your 
own made-up User-Agent string to look for?  or alternatively find out 
its exact User-Agent string and match on something not far off that.

Apologies if I've misinterpreted the problem, or you've already tried 
the above suggestions.

Ben
