If I count correctly, your list contains 284 samples. I suspect that
a good number of the remaining 229 mail messages were created by older
mailers that don't generate an X-Mailer header.
.... and it's likely that most of the 229 mail messages created by
"older mailers" don't deal with HTML, and possibly not with MIME,
either.
