The Mail app needs better support for non-local pix.  The only
way I can get it to work is to put  address@full.domain.name  in
/LocalLibrary/Images/People/passwd, which looks really ugly in
the "Login Names" display.

Wishlist stuff:

1) Have mail look at /etc/hosts.equiv; if I receive mail from
   user@equivalent-host, look up the picture as though it were
   local mail.  We don't have a central mailhost!
2) Look in ~/Library/Images/People as well as the systemwide
   directory.
3) Look for the image file regardless of passwd presence.
