Pcitures in 'From' Header

Pcitures in 'From' Header

[Jake Colman]

I see that there is a recent trend for posters to include an image of
themselves in the 'From' line.  How is this done?  Does it work universally
or is it just visible with gnus?

With the X-Face header.

It depends on the news/mail reader software.  Here's a good place to
start learning more:

Or better yet with the "just" released (colored) Face header:)

So, the X- was dropped which I meant to ask:  is that legal?  IE, is
it an officially sanctioned header?  I though X- prefixes were
required for non-standards headers?

No.  For email RFC 2822 doesn't require an X-prefix (cf. section
3.6.8).

For Netnews the Usefor draft actually discourages X- in headers that
are not intended to be human readable.
