How does one have an X-Face: hdr in mush:
I tried:-
my_hdr X-Face: `cat $HOME/.face`
which would work in elm and I tried:-
my_hdr X-Face: 1}k[HO7YT|g4gb-e<SjDaH]Je"#L/Gw0hj)^]#a%)QRM=I#H*Mo+qrHC5aK0!;$DZ]U(xcQ\

Which gave :-

then I tried

-P#H((So[puO`XIK9o{[G)N;*:nSJ3:$"drj({m:t<(8#;`t~7Q\3^Ic"
which was accepted by mush but only gave the following header in msgs:-
X-Face: 1}k[HO7YT|g4gb-e<SjDaH]Je
We can't use the sendmail hack that is in the faces manual as we run MMDF, so
what can I do, I would like to be able to put
my_hdr X-Face: `cat $HOME/.face`
in my .mushrc.
Yours a very frustrated programmer.

In article <numb.670168403@seurat> numb@cs.qmw.ac.uk (Matt Newman) writes: } } How does one have an X-Face: hdr in mush: I asked Rich Burridge, the author of faces, to respond to this. His slightly-edited reply is included below. Unfortunately, as Rich notes, his solutions don't cover MMDF. I'll therefore suggest a couple of other variations. The problem is that the compressed face image (usually) contains quote marks '` ". Even if these showed up in matched pairs, mush would strip them off; usually, mush just complains about unmatched quotes. The face also includes dollar signs $, which mush tries to expand as variables. The ELM style of creating this header -- X-Face: `cat .face` -- doesn't work because mush's `` mechanism expects to expand mush commands into message lists, not shell commands into text. The best way to handle the face image is to create a properly quoted version of the compressed image -- single quotes ' replaced by "'" and double " or back ` quotes replaced by '"' or '`', and $ by '$' -- and put this directly into a my_hdr X-Face: command, either in .mushrc or in a file sourced by .mushrc. There's no good way to perform this quoting automatically (though some perl hacker will probably prove me wrong), and it is not sufficient to wrap the entire thing in quotes, which is what Matt Newman originally tried. Another way to handle it is to set autoedit and edit_hdrs, then have your $editor and/or $visual set to a script or program that inserts the contents of the .face file into the message before you edit it. This is the sort of thing that the Rnmush script does, and that the sendmail script that Rich discusses will do as the message is sent out. With that said, here's Rich's commentary.

I don't remember } whether faces will read the face from the signature when it isn't in the } headers, but I thought there had been some discussion of that at one time. Sure. Feel free to forward this to the news group. I realise this guy is using MMDF. I don't think I can help him (apart from installing the unofficial mush patch that is mentioned). } How does one have an X-Face: hdr in mush: Here's the excerpt from the faces README file: 5. How to include your compressed face image with mail. ------------------------------------------------------- As of patch #10 to v1.4, faces is capable of recognising the compressed face image only in the mail message header. Previous to this, it was also recognised in the body of the message. The latter case causes problems when a mail message includes other messages with X-Face: lines. The following method works for Berkeley Mail (aka /usr/ucb/mail), Open Windows mailtool and mush. It probably works for others too. Note that the special patch to the mush mail source is no longer needed. It fact, if you are using a version of mush which has this patch applied, you should un-apply it before making the changes listed below, otherwise you will have two sets of X-Face lines in your mail headers. The file mush.xface.patch can be removed from this faces distribution. It is suggested that each user store the compressed image (generated by compface) in a file called .face in their home directory. The first line should have the X-Face: prepended; second and subsequent lines should have a preceding tab, and there should be a trailing blank line. For example, my .face file contains: ------CUT HERE------START------CUT HERE------ X-Face: *7O.<19S{MCsaxxe=iCc*y5!i:>e,K40m^btp"<`~gNx5>o?eJMzUng=j]%KybY \/VaZ/3a4pD%#rGu7D<M$.TDpaDN8#8eJC&^^&Mr]@~}Pa,*F-ePrMg5.}e,,bu qROdT{Vzn{!ouXy.&*#V#Q&Zf7a8lX2Kb}"$UT^VhnsJ?){wFU5r+,duO>4@L ------CUT HERE-------END-------CUT HERE------ Each user should add the line: set sendmail=/usr/local/bin/faces.sendmail to their ~/.mailrc file, where /usr/local/bin is equivalent to the BINDIR definition in the Makefile. This small shell script will be installed when you do a "make install". ---------- Faces is now at v1.4.13. There is an active mailing list. Patch #14 will be posted to it next week. If you'd like to be added to the mailing list, send a request to me, and I'll add you. V1.4.13 of faces can be obtained from the automatic mail archive server. Send seven messages to rb-archive-server@Aus.Sun.COM each containing the line: send faces partn where n = 1-7. Each part in a uuencode compressed shar file.
