Explanatory Remarks

The counts are based on header lines with the following labels:

x-mailer
x-posting-agent
x-http-user-agent
x-newsreader
user-agent
It's possible some newsreaders use other header lines to identify themselves.  The ones I've listed are the ones I've been able to learn of.  If anyone knows of a different header line that's used to identify his or her newsreader, I would appreciate being told about it.
