You may notice the difference in > the User-Agent header of this message and the previous. The one in this latest message is wrong, though. User-Agent: Gnus/5.090016 (Oort Gnus v0.16) XEmacs/21.4 "Portable Code" (linux) "Portable Code" is not a product/version pair. Anything that isn't a product/version pair needs to be a comment. The User-Agent header in the mail or news context isn't really standardized as such, but it's essentially an adoption of the User-Agent header from HTTP. From RFC 2616: 14.43 User-Agent The User-Agent request-header field contains information about the user agent originating the request. This is for statistical purposes, the tracing of protocol violations, and automated recognition of user agents for the sake of tailoring responses to avoid particular user agent limitations. User agents SHOULD include this field with requests. The field can contain multiple product tokens (section 3.8) and comments identifying the agent and any subproducts which form a significant part of the user agent. By convention, the product tokens are listed in order of their significance for identifying the application. User-Agent = "User-Agent" ":" 1*( product | comment ) Example: User-Agent: CERN-LineMode/2.15 libwww/2.17b3 where product is: 3.8 Product Tokens Product tokens are used to allow communicating applications to identify themselves by software name and version. Most fields using product tokens also allow sub-products which form a significant part of the application to be listed, separated by white space. By convention, the products are listed in order of their significance for identifying the application. product = token ["/" product-version] product-version = token Examples: User-Agent: CERN-LineMode/2.15 libwww/2.17b3 Server: Apache/0.8.4 -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
