the smithsonian now.

Of the remaining 9638, there are 523 unique X-Mailer
references.  I disqualified 24 for being quoted, or random
X-Mailer discussion on NANOG.  (X-Mailer discussion seems
to be the ONLY thread that hasn't repeated itself in the
last month.)

The breakdown:

Microsoft 38.71% (not even half the way to 90%)
Mozilla 11.41%
Eudora 10.86%
ELM 6.63%
exmh 5.25%
Web Mail 5.20%
Mutt 4.70%
New MH 3.64%
VM 2.36%
Mulberry 1.90%
Gnus 1.27%
MH 0.96%

If we include the postings with no X-Mailer in the sample,
Microsoft drops to 18.08% of the total -- I'm not aware of any
M$ email product that didn't include an X-Mailer header.

Of course, about the only thing you can conclude from this
is that people with no X-Mailer post more often than anyone else ;)

Most of those are likely pine, which you can tell by looking at the
message-id...
