Hallo Chris,

On Mon, 18 Dec 2006 21:43:18 -0600GMT (19-12-2006, 4:43 , where I
live), you wrote:

And to confuse things even more, RFC2076 mentions X-Mailer as 'not
internet standard' (just like Mailer) and doesn't even mention
User-Agent.
Then again a client like Thunderbird uses User-Agent.

Personally I'd prefer to use something starting with an X, as that is
what I've learned to to do with non-existing headers. Unfortunately
X-Mailer (the one I'd prefer) can't be altered from within TB.
