Yes and nooo.
Faces (and X-Faces) are contained in the message headers. Picon support
is based on the concept that you download the entire picon tree locally,
and look at it there. And Gravatar is a service that you query online.
So it's like a gliding scale from something that is definitely
... readerish to do (Faces) to something questionable (Picons) to
something that's totally an external service (Gravatar).
I think it would make sense to remove the picon support. I can't
imagine there are more than a handful of people in the world that uses
it. Although the packages are still in Debian, so perhaps...
But I would like to try the Gravatar stuff, at least. :-) Perhaps just
install it, and then we can give it a whirl?
