Sayeth the Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Face):

   An X-Face is a small bitmap (48 × 48 pixels, black and
   white) image which is added to a Usenet posting or e-mail
   message, typically showing a picture of the author's face.
   The image data is included in the posting as encoded text,
   and attached with an 'X-Face' header.

   While many programs support X-Face, most of them are free
   software and based on Unix or its variations, such as KMail
   or Sylpheed.

I've never heard of it myself. I've never used an NNTP client that
supported it; my ancient version of Agent certainly doesn't. And I'm
happy about that; Usenet is text. Binary shit like that doesn't
belong. I mean, what's next, bold text and colors? That way leads to
chaos and madness, I tell you! ;-)

Interesting. It reminds me of web sites' favicon.ico which is popular. I
never knew this X-Face existed. Did anyone even use it? I just know
people use ASCII arts like mine. :P Obviously, they need a fixed width
font like Courier, Monospace, etc. to see it formatted correctly.
