Troll alert = false.

I'm genuinely interested in details like this as it pertains to how I
craft spam detection rules now, and in the future.

Yes.  I think.  I'm now posing a new question based on that answer. 
I'm actually asking for clarification.

If you don't know the answer, you don't have to respond, or try to
coerce others from responding.

So in general, I *should* be seeing this:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9)
    Gecko/20071031 Thunderbird/2.0.0.9 Mnenhy/0.7.5.0

(or something relatively complex)

And not simply just this:

    Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Windows/20071031)

As the *exact*, whole, and complete contents of the UA string?
