Actually, you can determine the remote mail client fairly reliably with iMS.
iMS provides all the email headers and one of them looks something like:
User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2022
Sort of the same way you can get a browser type. There are still a few mail
clients that don't provide this but the more popular clients do...

Howie
