He said nothing about "having Safari"...just listed some string examples. I got the impression that he wanted to spoof Safari (which I do from time to time) using SM...why would a Safari user post to a Seamonkey NG, or want Safari to spoof SM?
...but if that's what he really wants to do, it can be done directly and simply - the capability to change/use an alternate User Agent String is actually built into Safari 4 - if one opens Safari Help and searches on "user agent string", one finds a thing called the Develop Menu. Open Safari Preferences->Advanced and check the "Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar" option.
The default Safari Develop Menu contains a library of common User Agent strings built into it...or you can choose the "Other" option...and then jus' do/use whatcha like.
