Omit User-Agent: header by default
The User-Agent: header can be fun and interesting, but it also leaks quite a bit of information about the user and their software stack. This represents a potential security risk (attackers can target the particular stack) and also an anonymity risk (a user trying to preserve their anonymity by sending mail from a non-associated account might reveal quite a lot of information if their choice of mail user agent is exposed). This change also avoids hiding the User-Agent header by default, so that people who decide they want to send it will at least see it (and can edit it if they want to) before sending. It makes sense to have safer defaults.
