Sure...

A few notes....

Messages that are Message-Id based counts do not include any message
that was found to have an X-Mailer header. Each Message was only
classified by the first match found.

The 'X-Mailer'|'Message-ID' type string is the Perl based regex used
to identify a mailer, =~ /X-Mailer: <String>.*$/

Format is <NumberFound> => <String>

These totals are based on each message, not poster, so heavy use
individuals can and will skew the results found, such as I use JBmail
and I am not sure if anyone else does, i did not look ;)

The messages parsed are the archives found on this webpage:
http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-users/ (taken sometime 05/19/2005)
based on A href links to .gz files as found in the index page.

This is not going to be 'scientifically' accurate by any means, a better
solution would be to take into account individual posters.., but this
should give a good feel of the MUA's used, and Pine wins by far (not
includeing all of those 'Who_Knows' results ;)

### Note that these are messages without an X-Mailer: header###
Total number of messages with 'Message-Id: ' header only => '26988'
16949 => 'Who_Knows' <--- To unreliable to tell anything about the mailer
8551 => '<Pine\.'
502 => '.+gmail\.com>'
466 => '.+squirrel' <--- Should be a squirrel mail based install
197 => '.+webmail\.' <--- Should be web-based mailers
190 => '.+hotmail\.com>'
86 => '.+gmane\.org>'
36 => '.+imp\.' <--- Should be an imp based install
11 => '<pan\.'
