Thank you very much. I followed your pointers and created
a 48x48 pixels JPEG image and used 

(setq message-default-headers
        (with-temp-buffer
          (insert "Face: ")
          (insert (gnus-face-from-file "~/pics/emre-face.jpg"))
          (buffer-string)))

and it brought a big, long Face: ... header. I think
it works now.

Thanks again.
