in an article http://www.landfield.com/usefor/drafts/draft-ietf-usefor-article-11.txt
I read that X-Mailer etc. headers are obsolete (in News Articles) and that the defined standard for that header information is "User Agent":
NOTE: This header supersedes the role performed redundantly by experimental headers such as X-Newsreader, X-Mailer, X-Posting- Agent, X-Http-User-Agent, and other headers previously used on Usenet and in Email for this purpose. Use of these experimental headers SHOULD be discontinued in favor of the single, standard User-Agent-header.
Are news and email treated the same, and should TB adapt to these changes? If so, is it already planned and/or on the wishlist?
(and no, I'm only using Thunderbird for testing right now, I have not abandoned my trustworthy TB 1.62r, but there that "user agent" field came to my attention)
