Just a FYI for everyone here; earlier this year I was talking to Gerv at
Mozilla about these things.

Unless Mozilla builds the code or officially agrees to distribution it's
not Firefox (which is a trademark).  The code built without the
trademark is called the Mozilla Mail client, hence if you compile the
Mozilla code it will report itself as 'Mozilla Mail/News Client'.

IIRC correctly early versions included with Ubuntu reported as 'Mozilla
Mail/News Client'.  Now it's all Firefox and Thunderbird there.
