I now realize that PICONS are not the same as using the X-face: header. However there are many (actually all) mentions of the work x-face in these sections. It's what actually gave me some motivation of messing with my headers. :) For instance, 'If you want to display faces from `X-Face' headers, you should have the `xface' support compiled into XEmacs. Otherwise you must have the `netpbm' utilities installed, or munge the `gnus-picons-convert-x-face' variable to use something else.'' What if you want to add something like this in the header? The sections that describe 'W f' - Look for and display any X-Face headers. Maybe add something like: "If you want to add your own x-face, add the header. See Message info file." Just skimmed the composing messages section and a reference to the Message info file didn't stand out. I would almost say mention in posting styles, but that doesn't seem right? What was the pointer to 'Message' in Composing Messages? I tried looking for it... - Nick
