 $phpmailer->XMailer = true to over ride an X-Mailer header being sent with
 the current wp_mail() function plugability? If I get a chance later I'll
 apply the PHPMailer 5.2 patch and see if this works.

 Why are the authors of PHPMailer not allowed to do the same?

 They are. But as of 5.2, it's now overridable. I'd think that the default
 XMailer should be the same WordPress generator.
