If you are just wanting to see what mail and/or news client a person is
using, why would you need to run an additional extension (now that our
computers are all squeezed from RAM and HD space!! ;-P ), when all you
have to do is enter about:config in the address bar, accept the warning,
then in the "Search Bar" enter "mailnews.headers.showUserAgent" and set
its Boolean function to "true" (by double clicking on it, I think!).
I agree that it's a specialized extension, and that not many need it.
For me, I do tech support, where there's a number of different mail
clients in use. Yes, I can look at a raw header, or tinker with
about:config settings, but for me, it's beneficial to see at at a
glance, what they're using to send.
The majority of my users use Thunderbird, but there's some number that
use Outlook, as well as a handful of other mail clients, including Apple
Mail, a webmail client, and one or two others. Knowing what client is
being used (and with a graphical display) helps me to quickly know both
what kinds of assumptions the user is making, as well as sometimes
answering the question of why the contents of a certain message appear
the way that they do.
I'm not advocating that others use this particular extension, but it's
useful to me.
