There you go. :-) I've now implemented a set of functions in gnus-fun.el that basically splits up and puts back together again bit planes. I couldn't find any ppm command for doing anything like that, so I wrote it in Lisp. > larsi> Do we want to encourage people to add even more data to > larsi> the headers? > > As opposed to adding it to the body-- i.e. spam? But sensible people don't do that. Sensible people might very well put something like this in the headers. > Another idea: what if there were various image formats of Face > headers: > > X-Gif-Face: > X-Jpg-Face: > X-Png-Face: The nice thing about X-Face headers is that they are so constrained. If people start posting 1024x768 GIF images in their headers, I think people will be annoyed. I've had a quick peek at the size of a 48x48x2 "extended" X-Face and the equivalent GIF file, and the "extended" X-Face was shorter. Which is nice. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
