I'd rather leave `post-command-hook' alone -- I've had some serious
problems messing with that variable before.

The problem here is basically that `gnus-article-wash-types' is
"global" to the article buffer, and not to the part that we're trying
to examine.  This also results in problems for the picon code, for
instance.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could find a way to, er, attach
that list to each rfc822 part?  I'm not quite sure how, though.  Text
properties?  An alist of part numbers to lists?  Uhm... put it in the
MIME properties?

Hm.

No, having multiple X-Face headers is nice, but there should be only
one Face header.  It's big enough as it is...
