Guide Review - MailPictures 4.0
Email addresses rarely reveal the looks of their owners. That's a pity, because you may be waiting for the bus with somebody you know very well — and not know it.
MailPictures, a Mac OS X Mail plug-in, can help. It lets you specify a picture to be displayed in emails to other users of MailPictures, and you will see their pictures. MailPictures uses Mail's ability to assign images to contacts, but it automates and simplifies the process.
MailPictures merely adds a header specifying the URL of the image to display, so there's little overhead involved, and on the receiving end it can automatically save the picture locally.
X-Face support can send an image of you even to those who don't use MailPictures (or Mac OS X Mail).
