<h3 class="section">9.5 Inserting Your Picture</h3>
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040file_007b_002eface_007d-1357"></a><a name="index-files_002c-_0040file_007b_002eface_007d-1358"></a><a name="index-mh_002dx_002dface_002dfile-1359"></a>
You can insert your picture in the header of your mail message so that
recipients see your face in the `<samp><span class="samp">From:</span></samp>' header field if their
mail user agent is sophisticated enough. In MH-E, this is done by
placing your image in the file named by the option
<code>mh-x-face-file</code> which is <samp><span class="file">~/.face</span></samp> by default.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040samp_007bFace_003a_007d-header-field-1360"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040samp_007bX_002dFace_003a_007d-header-field-1361"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040samp_007bX_002dImage_002dURL_003a_007d-header-field-1362"></a><a name="index-header-field_002c-_0040samp_007bFace_003a_007d-1363"></a><a name="index-header-field_002c-_0040samp_007bX_002dFace_003a_007d-1364"></a><a name="index-header-field_002c-_0040samp_007bX_002dImage_002dURL_003a_007d-1365"></a>
If the file starts with either of the strings `<samp><span class="samp">X-Face:</span></samp>',
`<samp><span class="samp">Face:</span></samp>' or `<samp><span class="samp">X-Image-URL:</span></samp>' then the contents are added to the
message header verbatim. Otherwise it is assumed that the file
contains the value of the `<samp><span class="samp">X-Face:</span></samp>' header field.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040command_007bcompface_007d-1366"></a><a name="index-Unix-commands_002c-_0040command_007bcompface_007d-1367"></a>
The `<samp><span class="samp">X-Face:</span></samp>' header field, which is a low-resolution, black and
white image, can be generated using the
<a href="ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/faces/compface/compface.tar.Z"><samp><span class="command">compface</span></samp></a> command. The <a href="http://www.dairiki.org/xface/"><cite>Online X-Face Converter</cite></a> is a useful resource for quick
conversion of images into `<samp><span class="samp">X-Face:</span></samp>' header fields.
<p>Use the <a href="http://quimby.gnus.org/circus/face/make-face"><samp><span class="command">make-face</span></samp></a> script to convert a JPEG image to the higher
resolution, color, `<samp><span class="samp">Face:</span></samp>' header field.
<p>The URL of any image can be used for the `<samp><span class="samp">X-Image-URL:</span></samp>' field and
no processing of the image is required.
<p><a name="index-mh_002dx_002dface_002dfile-1368"></a>
To prevent the setting of any of these header fields, either set
<code>mh-x-face-file</code> to <code>nil</code>, or simply ensure that the file
defined by this option doesn't exist.
<p>See <a href="Viewing.html#Viewing">Viewing</a>, to see how these header fields are displayed in MH-E.
