Agree++; X-Mailer is not intended to be user-visible. It is most often
used for readers to adjust for display quirks these days, but also to
inform MTAs of behavior quirks.
This should be the same across all instances. In fact, it probably
shouldn't be user-configurable.

Why is Wikipedia more suspicious than Wikipedia mail?
I really don't know, it's just how some people that I know (including
myself) react. For instance, I recently fell for a spam email
disguised as a Linkedin message. The sender was John Doe via

Facebook's email
Ideally X-Mailer (by convention) should be something like:
*MediaWiki/{version}*
In fact better would be
*MediaWiki/{version} **PHP/{version} *
But it probably doesn't matter too much :)

Linkedin's email messages come from different senders - by far the

LinkedIn's notifications, honestly, look very messy to me. There are

How about just setting it to the sitename? 'Wikipedia', 'Wikinews', etc.

Never said otherwise, Huib just said Wikipedia was one of many
WikiMedia projects.
Why do email notifications from Wikipedia have the sender as
MediaWiki Mail? Most Wikipedia users probably don't know what
MediaWiki is. I suggest it be changed to Wikipedia or Wikipedia

Notifications from Wikipedia should say Wikipedia, notifications from
Wikinews should say Wikinews, etc..
Does MediaWiki Mail even make sense as the default for
$wgPasswordSenderName? Is there a reason not to have it default to
something with $wgSitename?
