I just found another useful header of the same type. Of course, there
seems to be no standard header to give away which user agent has been
used. Especially not for Microsoft. Anyway M$ Exchange produces an
"X-MimeOLE" header:

(setq gnus-visible-headers
      '("^From:"
        "^To:"
        "^Cc:"
        "^Followup-To:"
        "^Reply-To:"
        "^Subject:"
        "^Date:"
        "^Newsgroups:"
        "^Organization:"
        "^X-Mailer:"
        "^X-Newsreader:"
        "^X-Posting-Agent:"
        "^User-Agent:"
        "^X-Mailer:"
        "^X-MimeOLE:"))

So now, you are able to identify another bad-face. :-)
