Actually, you may simply specify the "useragent" variable as "" - i.e. two
double quotes and nothing else. You may also specify it as "blah" or any
other absurd value ;). The important thing is the double quotes - they must
be present. If you use the options menu, remember to tick the box, "Save
options to disk: [ ]".
