Thanks,

You paste the X-face in the "Extra news header lines" section.
You can save the whole thing as stationery and assign it to a personality
if you like, as well.

P.S. I used Eudora for posting this message.

So, you have a gateway at Ohio State ?

No, he's lying.

I think it has a multiple personality disorder--It identified itself as
Thoth.  :-)

Eudora won't show X-Faces on incoming mail, but "X-Face Extractor"
(available at <http://www.emailman.com/>) is a script that can send an
X-Face from Eudora to be displayed in Saving Face.  I used to use it
with OS 8.x; I'm not sure if it still works in OS X.  I notice in the
blurb on emailman.com that it says it requires the hard drive be named
"Macintosh HD."  I've never done any scripting, so I don't know how
difficult it would be to change that.  (I've changed the name of my hard
drive, as allegedly that can reduce the risk of damage from malware.)

In Applescript, it ought to be trivially easy. But then all the
Applescripts I have written (to switch 'personalities', aka 'settings', in
Eudora 3.1.3 Light) have been very small so...  Applescript guru I'm not.

As OS10 supports Applescript, there's a good chance it will work there too.

I confess that X-faces are a pretty low priority for me and neither my
mailer nor my newsreader will display them, but just out of curiosity from
time to time I copy the whole X-face header line into a text editor, save
it and drop it onto GraphicConverter, which displays them very nicely.

Eudora has no such feature. Internet Config supports such an attribute
as do some newsreaders, including some that use Internet Config, but
Eudora's Internet Config support is rather limited and would never have
any reason to use that attribute, as it has no way to post news articles
built-in.

No, you did not. Eudora does not have any facility for posting articles
to news. Your article carried this header:

User-Agent: Thoth/1.7.2 (Carbon/OS X)

Indicating that unless you are using something else that falsifies that
header, you used Thoth to post that message.

Quite right. but SuperSleek, among others, does. I'm told it works in the
latest versions in OS10, but I can't confirm that.

It should be a very simple thing to insert an X-Face via SuperSleek. As to
whether it would be *desirable*, that's another question. But hell, let's
all have fun...

That's odd.  The headers included:

User-Agent: Thoth/1.7.2 (Carbon/OS X)
