If your | Emacs has image support the default action is to display the face | before the `From' header. If there's no native `X-Face' support, | Gnus will try to convert the `X-Face' header using external programs | from the `pbmplus' package and friends. [...] The default action | under Emacs without image support is to fork off the `display' | program. | | On a GNU/Linux system, the `display' program is from the ImageMagick | package. For external conversion programs look for packages with names | like `netpbm', `libgr-progs' and `compface'. `---- I don't have a windows to test it, but by looking at the code it seems that you need to install windows versions of the uncompface and icontopbm executables. If a windows user could provide us concrete information (download URLs, ...), we could improve the manual.
