To clarify: I don't think that the NUA *must* preserve the UA header.
The UA header is totally irrelevant WRT supercedes, so it's probably
not specified.

Gnus' default behavior is described in the manual:
,----[ (info "(message)Superseding") ]
| Headers matching the `message-ignored-supersedes-headers' are
| removed before popping up the new message buffer. The default is
| `^Path:\\|^Date\\|^NNTP-Posting-Host:\\|^Xref:\\|^Lines:\\|
| ^Received:\\|^X-From-Line:\\|Return-Path:\\|^Supersedes:'.
`----
You may add "\\|^User-Agent:" to `message-ignored-supersedes-headers'.

If you think, that the default value of `m-i-s-h' should be changed,
file a bug report. I tend to agree with you, the more I think about
it. :-)
Bye, Reiner.
