Do you have evidence for that (in comparison with other MUAs)?

Not by me.

So the people being asked for help are supposed to go to the trouble of
finding out which version the poster *might* be using? Seriously?

I have asked politely for several years. It seems to make no difference.
I don't expect this occasion to make any difference either. I confess to
letting off some steam, which I tried to indicate by the <rant> block.
Presumably some people's sense of irony needs adjusting.

Which guys are you referring to? You seem to be under the
misapprehension that those of us who try to answer questions here are
all developers. Let me assure that the great majority of us aren't.
We're mere users like you. Sometimes we answer questions and sometimes
we ask them. It's called a user community, and asking questions properly
is a great help to getting them answered.
