Fake User-Agent on PDF

Hi,

So far all SPAM PDF files that did not get killed on other issues seem to 
use a fake User-Agent header: User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.12 (Windows/20070509)

According to 
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/releases/1.5.0.12.html the 
release date is impossible however.

I have not written a SA rule (yet). I wrote a detectline in my header 
checks of postfix:
/^User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.12 \(Windows/20070509\)/	REJECT	This is a fake version of Thunderbird

Hugo.
