9.5 Inserting Your Picture
==========================
You can insert your picture in the header of your mail message so that
recipients see your face in the ‘From:’ header field if their mail user
agent is sophisticated enough. In MH-E, this is done by placing your
image in the file named by the option ‘mh-x-face-file’ which is
‘~/.face’ by default.
If the file starts with either of the strings ‘X-Face:’, ‘Face:’ or
‘X-Image-URL:’ then the contents are added to the message header
verbatim. Otherwise it is assumed that the file contains the value of
the ‘X-Face:’ header field.
The ‘X-Face:’ header field, which is a low-resolution, black and
white image, can be generated using the ‘compface’
(ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/faces/compface/compface.tar.Z) command.
The ‘Online X-Face Converter’ (http://www.dairiki.org/xface/) is a
useful resource for quick conversion of images into ‘X-Face:’ header
fields.
Use the ‘make-face’ (http://quimby.gnus.org/circus/face/make-face)
script to convert a JPEG image to the higher resolution, color, ‘Face:’
header field.
The URL of any image can be used for the ‘X-Image-URL:’ field and no
processing of the image is required.
To prevent the setting of any of these header fields, either set
‘mh-x-face-file’ to ‘nil’, or simply ensure that the file defined by
this option doesn’t exist.
