I'd be very surpised if those two are anywhere near as popular as
Gnus.  They haven't heard about them for years, and suspect they are
nearly exclusively used by old time Unix users who can't be bothered
to switch to something more recent.  Especially zmail.

I suspect the most popular user agent supporting X-Face is Xnews.

I agree we should leave X-Face alone.  However, googling for exmh
showed that it supports an x-image-url header Gnus could support
instead.
