Do Email headers show browser?

[Dario D.]

Not sure where else to ask this.
Do any of you programmers know if email headers show what browser you or your contact is using? ...or if there's a way to find out? I have some old emails (no longer in contact with the person) and need to know what browser was being used.

Example header:

The senders web browser is not shown in these headers. It would be possible for a web based email service to include this, but it looks like hotmail doesn't.

I can tell you use Thunderbird though!

Thanks for the reply. (lol, yeah, I'm using Thunderbird) What about this header below, from 2 years ago? (it's still Hotmail, but MUCH older, so it could be different)

*bump* No takers?

 

[djdeth]

I am not sure if it does by default. I know you could code a contact form and pass a variable that detects their browser.

Nope, doesn't show the browser. Most email services won't do it. The only thing that comes to mind that includes the browser, is if someone sends an email from Opera (built-in mail client).

 

[Dario D.]

Ok, thanks!

 

[OverDark]

only some web based email clients show the browser of the client, big companies don't (google doesen't :D)
