On the other side, why would someone want to set this variable to t, and how does this help anyone else? Again, system-configuraton exposing isn't so bad. tin, slrn, GoldED+ -- they have certain OS exposion (each in it's own way), and generally it can be good (in, say, fido7.ru.unix -- again a lot of people forget to mention theis OS). Well, the whoule User-Agent header is revealing some info, user is probably unwilling to share. But as long, as one can turn it off, I see nothing bad, but even good, if it's enabled by default. The same for system-coniguration. -- I accept RFC3156 and RFC1991-compatible encrypted mail. PGP key fingerprint: 123A 7CCE 6E26 6233 0D87 E01A A0F8 3524 FCD8 1841
