Microsoft Office user agent

type of the agent

[BarataPT]

Hi,

I'm doing some data mining from query logs of a search engine.

I want only queries made from humans and remove bots, crawlers, etc.

I get this entry a lot:
Microsoft Office/12.0 (Windows NT 5.1; Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0.6521; Pro)
Many times with different versions but the same user-agent format.

I don't know if newer versions of Office have some kind of embedded browser or such.

If you guys can give me some more information about this user agent string i would appreciate it.

"Outlook 12.0.6521" [microsoft-office-outlook.software.informer.com]

I don't keep up with the different versions, but AFAIK there is an embedded browser, one that has the ability to scrape entire web pages including images, css, scripting, etc.

This is why I've always blocked it categorically by UA.
