To do faces (copied from a sample "tip" I posted to debian-doc: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- tip: getting the picons database to work with exmh submitted by: Jim Pick <jim@jimpick.com> date: March 30, 1997 packages: exmh, compface, picon-domains, picon-news, picon-users, picon-misc, picon-unknown, picon-usenix, picon-weather exmh has the ability to display a picture of the faces of the people you receive e-mail from. If no face is available, it can also display an icon for the organization the person is from, or a country flag, based upon their e-mail address. To configure exmh, go to Exmh Preferences - Faces. (a screen shot might go nicely here) Some e-mail messages have X-Face: headers, which is usually a 3-line header which looks like this: X-Face: Hz"C77\53<,u1}C~=DFwS#Ddj161XLl6W!3g7xjxh*P'`FF^-IYQXX$a*WC~=^8rvy"~<3z UeQqGo&KZe[}lJg`\+SDMGRVIUJ~P,#(=w~yYv{g9i%"k|\J|jYVvv^Bzfwo=@AddrDMO<xV_IAl`( TW7;|vH6Kik(,iljluXex0vrnM:SedI@lbAeNvM The compface package contains a program which can convert these lines to a 32x32 black and white image that exmh can display. To do this, type in "uncompface -X" into the dialog where it says "X-Face command". If you want to use the picons database - install the picon-* packages, and check off the "Use faces database" option. You also need to add the following line to your .bashrc or /etc/profile (for systemwide settings) file: export FACEPATH=/usr/lib/picon/users:/usr/lib/picon/usenix:/usr/lib/picon/misc: /usr/lib/picon/domains:/usr/lib/picon/unknown And you should soon see faces! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't have a sound card (I'm buying one tomorrow), so I don't really have a clue how to get sound working. Cheers, - Jim
