Variable: mh-x-face-file

mh-x-face-file is a customizable variable defined in mh-e.el.gz.

Value

"~/.face"

Documentation

File containing face header field to insert in outgoing mail.

If the file starts with either of the strings "X-Face:", "Face:" or "X-Image-URL:" then the contents are added to the message header verbatim. Otherwise it is assumed that the file contains the value of the "X-Face:" header field.

The "X-Face:" header field, which is a low-resolution, black and white image, can be generated using the "compface" command (see URL ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/faces/compface/compface.tar.Z). The
"Online X-Face Converter" is a useful resource for quick conversion
of images into "X-Face:" header fields (see URL https://www.dairiki.org/xface/).

Use the "make-face" script to convert a JPEG image to the higher resolution, color, "Face:" header field (see URL https://quimby.gnus.org/circus/face/make-face).

The URL of any image can be used for the "X-Image-URL:" field and no processing of the image is required.

To prevent the setting of any of these header fields, either set mh-x-face-file to nil, or simply ensure that the file defined by this option doesn't exist.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in MH-E version
7.0.
