For some incredibly bizarre reason, SeaMonkey is translating User-Agent
to X-Mailer. If you look at the header information in the preview pane,
look for X-Mailer. If you look at the source, then User-Agent is it.
Sounds interesting. Very.
The information isn't missing, per se, but the tag itself is being
misrepresented. It's the same information being given a different
name depending on the view context.
I cannot reproduce it without some clarification. And for that let us
concentrate on a concrete example. Please give a MID or some other
identification.
I do not know what you mean with preview pane. How do you invoke it?
The source should be Ctrl+U.
Sorry. I'm used to supporting Outlook users during the course of work.
In SeaMonkey lingo, it is the Message Pane, expanded and collapsed via
F8 in the Mail/News window. In the Message Pane, one can view headers by
clicking the arrow just to the left of Subject. As seen below:

Interestingly, I think I've found a bug. As you can clearly see from the
above screen shot, what you would expect to see as User-Agent is being
displayed as X-Mailer. *HOWEVER* ....
I toggled my View | Headers to Normal and then back to All and now the
view has completely changed:
<http://www.living-intentionally.com/media/images/aftertoggle.png>
As you can see, the headers being displayed have now changed. I am led
to surmise that over time, the code to display the headers in the
Message Pane has changed over time and that a toggle of the view
refreshes things.
So, try toggling your View | Headers | All to Normal and then back to
All. It may very well fix your problem.
It's being given a different name for some reason that I cannot fathom.
And now it appears to have been a bug. I have had View | Headers | All
as my choice since back in the Netscape Communicator days and have never
changed it till just now. For whatever reason, doing so has changed
everything.
And it does seem to be a bug. It seems to be necessary to toggle the
headers view between All and Normal and back again for every bloody folder.
It would be better if X-Mailer would be displayed as X-Mailer in the
header pane, not as User-Agent. I fully agree with that. On the other
hand, despite of the naming, the content of the user agent is still
valuable. :)
I would rightly expect that X-Mailer is a completely separate header and
that if it exists at all, its content will be displayed independent of
User-Agent.
As for the missing build date, feel free to submit a bug.
Would be useless. The change was done on purpose with regard to enhanced
privacy.
FWIW, the build date has been missing since at least Netscape 7.1
(Mozilla 1.4), if not earlier. From a message I posted in December
2004: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Netscape/7.1. And later from Mozilla 1.7.7 in 2005: Mozilla/5.0 (X11;
U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050420
Hm? In all your examples the build date is existent. My first patch for
restoring the build date was on 2012-05-01 04:46:21.215568722 +0200. The
change should have been not long ago.

I was always under the impression that the Gecko/date was nothing more
than the Gecko version rather than the build date for the version being
used. I guess that was mistaken. :)
