Hi, There is already support for random X-Face in Gnus. This patch adds support for png faces as well. Further, support to omit certain faces in a dir is added. It works nicely e.g. for posting-styles. I'd welcome any feedback. I have mainly tested with png faces as the suggested way of producing X-Faces (e.g. gnus-convert-pbm-to-x-face-command) didn't work as expected on my system (with compface 1.5.2 and netpbm 10.61.0). I have signed copyright paper to Emacs. –Rasmus
