--- Comment #8 from Thomas Pfeiffer <thomas.pfeiffer at kde.org> ---
The User Agent does indeed reveal more information about the sender's system
than necessary (why would one need to know which application in which version
on which operating system was used to send an email?).
Is there anything that speaks against leaving the User-Agent string completely
out by default, or maybe reducing it to just "KMail"?
Most email clients do send user-agent information by default, but since the
sender's user agent does not really have practical relevance in an email (in
contrast to a web browser where the server uses it to apply  workarounds for
specific browsers' shortcomings, for example), we could just be better then
others in that regard.
