I think. I'm now posing a new question based on that answer.       I'm actually asking for clarification.              > It is now trolling for bites.              If you don't know the answer, you don't have to respond, or try to       coerce others from responding.              > The default install of Firefox (unlike Thunderbird ) _does_       > include those details in the UA string.              So in general, I *should* be seeing this:               Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9)        Gecko/20071031 Thunderbird/2.0.0.9 Mnenhy/0.7.5.0              (or something relatively complex)              And not simply just this:               Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Windows/20071031)              As the *exact*, whole, and complete contents of the UA string?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
