With "Supernova" Thunderbird has stopped including the Thunderbird version information in the header.

Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2023 17:54:45 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 

Thunderbird/102.13.0


Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2023 03:33:56 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird

Can the developers be encouraged to return the version information?

The default was changed for 'privacy concerns':

but if you toggle mailnews.headers.useMinimalUserAgent to false in Config. editor in Settings/General, the full user agent string is included.
