Please note those numbers can be miss-leading. The current script is
simply counting which mailer was used for each message. So a few users
posting a lot of messages from a particular mailer can skew the
numbers.
I need to re-write that portion to count the mailers that users use.
This would IMHO be more useful as you would know the counts of mailers
based on the poster population. I think that would give you a better
handle on popularity of a particular mailer.
And as reported last time some mailers do not implement the headers that
I am currently using so they do not get counted at all.
Did not have time this month to make the changes. Maybe next month. :)
