I did do a header search. Thing is, while Messenger and Pluto use the

We're still dwarfed by some other systems, but it's interesting to know

X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 1.9/32.560
You'd think I was running some version of Windows.

And some software deliberately tells porkies about itself, like wot I'm
