The checkbox itself wasn't working (that's in the change toward pre.6
which I noted on the 7th):

+2009-06-?? (2.8.7pre.6)
+* update lynx.pot file -TD
+* add "Bad HTML messages" to Options menu, letting the user disable the
+  warning message, write the detailed messages to the LYNXMESSAGES: status
+  buffer (suggested by BL) -TD
+* finish checkbox for send-useragent from pre.3 changes -TD
   ^^^^^^
+* make the size of LYNXMESSAGES configurable in lynx.cfg with
+  STATUS_BUFFER_SIZE -TD

(but even with that, the user-agent in pre.5 should be sent)
