Google and Writely

If you're using the sendmail package, you'll want to modify the file

EL_Check_Header_XMailer.m4

to exclude the string 'Writely' from the list of bad X-Mailers. It seems
that Google bought Writely, and integrated it into their Google Docs
mail software - so if you share a Google Document, it sends a message
to the recipient to the effect that the Document can be found here, etc.
That message contains an X-Mailer of 'WritelyMailer', which we'd only
ever before seen in spam, so if your customer/user base uses Google Docs,
you'll want to fix this ASAP.
