Actually, the standard header is "User-Agent:"; all of the "X-"
headers are non-standard, including "X-Mailer:". Of course, the
most popular mailers (Outlook, Netscape) use "X-Mailer:", so that's
become a de facto non-standard.
Also the published URI standard says that URIs can be broken if
they are enclosed in angle brackets, like this: <http://piclab.com/

At any rate, the moral of the story is that before you guys
complain about what's standard and non-standard, you might want
to actually read one.
