Yes. Mutt now creates the User-Agent header instead of X-Mailer.
User-Agent is preferred over X-Mailer.

It sounds like whenever you edit an email message text with vim, and
save and exit, vim creates a backup copy of the original. Mutt knows
to delete the temporary file from /tmp (containing the real text) but
it can't know about the backup copies created by your editor.
The solution is to configure vim not to create backups of edited files.
I believe it's: :set nobackup
If you want to normally have backups, then you need a default
configuration and a configuration just for editing emails.
