What's the use of that file? That is an image file used for Emacsen that has no images support. The data are bitmap pattern used as a stipple face. This is technically excellent and arouses my curiosity. Though it or the program seems to be broken[1], you can see the image somehow or other even if you use Emacs having the new display engine. If you have the /some/where/x-splash file, try evaluating this form: --=-=-= Content-Type: application/emacs-lisp Content-Disposition: inline (progn (require 'gnus) (let ((fn (symbol-function 'nnheader-find-etc-directory)) (gnus-group-buffer "*x-splash*")) (fset 'nnheader-find-etc-directory (lambda (&rest args) "/some/where")) (unwind-protect (gnus-x-splash) (fset 'nnheader-find-etc-directory fn)))) --=-=-= Content-Disposition: inline [1] I'd like to fix it some day. --=-=-=--
