And I'm speaking of people who actually like x-faces, and use them (like me). I wait for web pages, I wait for articles from the slow news server, I wait for files to come when FTP-ing, but I DON'T want to wait to read my email comfortably. Email is asynchronous in its nature, and I believe it should stay that way. So, I wan't to see those entertaining small pictures, and I want to see them *right away*! :) Few lines in (not) every article is small price to pay for that. -- Zlatko
