I'm trying to set my evolution config so that my 'face' is available on
outgoing e-mail - automagically. I've read various "readme's" - but
things seem to work differently to what is said.

I'm running evolution version... "GNOME evolution 2.26.3".

in ~/.evolution, I created my base64 png image -

djpeg my-picture.jpg | ppmnorm | pnmscale -width 48 -height 48 |
ppmquant 7 | pnmtopng | base64 > ~/.evolution/faces

The result is 920 bytes - small enough.

One can "Insert --> Face" - but nothing happens. If you don't set up
'~/.evolution/faces' - then you're prompted for an image. That works -
e-mail by e-mail.

If the 'faces' file is created - "Insert --> Face" does no prompting -
or anything else.....

How do I attach a face automatically?

Someone said look in  Edit-->Preferences-->Mail Preferences--> Headers -
but that looks to just be for pictures in my own address book.
