I'm resending mail I sent in the past week (from a different account)
it appears scam is not sending remote mail.

One problem is that your xpm's don't define a transparent color. For
instance, I changed the "c" color of the "spline" xpm to "c c None"
and now it does the transparency correctly. But, there is still a bug
here since if no transparent pixels are defined in the xpm then the
mask should be filled. And it does this correctly on my system. I
suspect that assuming the white color is composed of all bits set
(0xffffffff) is an error. Let me know if the following patch works for
you.
