Assuming Mark was referring to his User-Agent header, which was:

>> User-Agent: Ritlabs'  De Vleermuis 2.01.26  Business Edition

Carsten mentioned in the root of this thread:

`-----

I'm having a hard time finding an RFC that covers this.  The best I've
come up with is a draft RFC for News articles:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-usefor-article-11.txt

The definition of the User-Agent field (section 6.18) seems to exclude
the use of whitespace (among other things, including double-quotes)
within a product name and would have the product version follow a "/".
The atoms are defined in Appendix B.1.

Anyone know of a more authoritative source for the proper use of the
User-Agent header in mail or news?
