Now that is has been mentioned. My X-Mailer header is:
Claws Mail 3.15.1-dirty (GTK+ 2.24.31; x86_64-slackware-linux-gnu)

I also note this on the About Claws Mail "version 3.15.1-dirty"

I compiled this my self using the source tarball from:
http://www.claws-mail.org/releases/

I appears there is a file called "version" in the root of the tarball 
with one line that says "echo 3.15.1-dirty". This is true for three
of the available tarballs on http://www.claws-mail.org/releases.php for
versions 3.15.1 and 3.15.0

I fixed the "version" file before compiling and replaced echo
3.15.1-dirty with echo 3.15.1 in my SlackBuild script.

Release tarballs really should not have the GIT -dirty tag.
