Sure, another solution would be to alter the Messages code to put X-Face into the composition area. That's another approach. Personally, I don't like it as much. If I wanted an X-Face header, I'd want it *whether or not* I sent my mail with Messages -- I'd want it automatically even if I sent mail with, say, CUI or VUI. Anybody who's running a mail-reader that is too dumb to filter out headers such as "X-Face" is already so totally accustomed to seeing garbage headers that one more isn't going to make any difference... -- Nathaniel
