Windows 7 (x64)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101
Thunderbird/24.6.0

On my outgoing E-mail messages, I see my UA.

Few E-mail clients insert the UA into the header section of a message.
I have seen a few X-Mailer header fields in lieu of User-Agent header
fields.  I see no indication of a UA on messages sent from smart phones
or iPads.  After checking a number of E-mail messages from various
sources, it almost seems that only Mozilla uses the User-Agent header
field.

On occasion, I filter and ignore all newsgroup messages
posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent
because of spam, flames, and trolling from that source.
