Question about Thunderbird version in User-Agent header line

by Me <Me@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 10, 2008 at 10:55 AM

Starting in late February, I began receiving spam where the user-agent
line of the header was this:

User-Agent:  Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Windows/20071031)

A search of my entire e-mail inventory going back almost 10 years
indicates that the only e-mails I've received with "Thunderbird
2.0.0.9" in the User-Agent line corresponds only to this new set of
spam, and not to any "legit" e-mails.

My question is this:

Does "Thunderbird 2.0.0.9" correspond to a string fragment that I
would or could encounter in the header of an e-mail sent by a human
using some version of Thunderbird?

Does any version of Thunderbird have:

    "Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Windows/20071031)"

As the exact (and only) contents of the User-Agent line?

If the answer is no, then I will add:

   [User-Agent contains "Thunderbird 2.0.0.9"] 

	or

   [User-Agent is Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Windows/20071031)]

to the list of spam-detection conditions for my e-mail client
(Communicator 4.79).
