Description Bug Reporter 2015-06-21 16:56:20 UTC

In Mozilla Thunderbird it is possible to override the X-Mailer/Useragent of the e-mail client via about:config...

general.useragent.enable_overrides;true
general.useragent.override;(Whatever useragent you want goes here e.g.Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/38.0)

This is useful for testing as well as privacy and fingerprinting.

There should be an option in the user-interface to do this with ClawsMail as well.

I think this is already possible:
- Go in the account preferences and select the "send" tab
- Uncheck the "Add user agent header" box
- Check the "Add user-defined header" box
- Click the "Edit" button
- Add "User-Agent" with whatever value you see fit.
