Details

Some mail clients and services key on the X-Mailer header for filtering mail.
For example AOL Mail will display in the mail header to the user a "Sent on"
valued pulled from the X-Mailer header and not the reported user gagent string.

From: Michael Dunn <mikedunn55@aol.com>
User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.9 (Windows/20041103)
X-Mailer: Unknown (No Version)

It seems to me it would be perfectly fine to pass the user agent value as the
X-Mailer value.
for the display see Bug 65472
