Description M Fiedler 2002-01-28 13:27:08 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           knode
Version:           KDE 2.2.2 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

As it is possible to add a X-Face line to the header in both knode and kmail it would be nice to show the bitmap (1bit max 48x48 px).

This library does all the converting from/to X-Face format:

This is only a wish but its a nice feature. Sylpheed does it but its not integrated into KDE :-(

Wouldn't that be more a thing to put into kview so that any kde app could view that type 
of image?

I nearly added another wish for this feature. Having used XNews in my unenlightened Windows days, I got used to friends' (if that is the correct word to apply to Usenet posters) X-Face bitmaps. Please, if it's not too much trouble, could you consider this feature?

Any luck of getting X-Face support in KMail?
