Hi MailMate users,

sorry about the avalanche of mailing list replies.

For those of you hoping to spot a “useful” hack on the list, I do have something for you. Yet another user asked me about providing a way to display an image of each email correspondent. I still haven't integrated MailMate with images from Contacts, but I realized that it was fairly easy to use the [Gravatar](https://www.gravatar.com) service.

I've attached a quick hack for the headers view which makes it look like this:

![](cid:99689FC2-4523-49B8-9CE9-A71EC8B2EABA@freron.com "PastedImage.png")

That's the default gravatar, because I don't have one myself, but a surprising number of users on this list do have one.

The attached file needs to be saved in this folder:

/Users/<username>/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/Layouts/headersFormatting.plist

You might need to create `Resources` and `Layouts` and you currently need the latest test release of MailMate 1.x for this to work: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane.

Note that this does mean that there'll be quite a lot of (encrypted) communication with the gravatar server.

(I make no guarantees that this will work forever.)
