MessageFaces
This extension lets Mozilla Thunderbird display 'face' images in the message header section of e-mails and newsgroup messages. These face images are intended to represent the sender, in the form of photos, cartoons, logos and so on. MessageFaces supports the following Face types:
| Type | Description | Supported |
|---|---|---|
| Face header | Color PNG file embedded in the mail itself (specification) | Display & Set |
| X-Face header | Black-and-white image embedded in the mail itself. | Display only; optional |

| Local images | Any image in a directory of your choice. | Display only; optional |
| Face URLs | An image loaded from a web address specified in the mail (possible privacy and security risk!) | Display only; optional |

icons.' Images used to represent users and domains
on the net. |
