b) Use a program to resize the image to 48x48 pixels size
c) Use a program to reduce the number of colors

   I used convert from the ImageMagick collection

d) Uh, don't know which program I used.

Eight hours of work and all I managed to do was learn that the only
reason they call it Windows is because prolonged usage makes you
want to throw your computer through one...

At USENIX conferences one has the opportunity to have one's picture
taken for your entry badge, and an image with 48 pixels per side and
two colors is the format.  The conference advertising for at least one
year said something about like Come to USENIX and get saved, playing
on the saving of the image to disk versus the Christian getting saved,
which often happens at Christian conferences.

You also got a copy of your file, converted to a 7-bit mail-safe format
called x-face format (I don't know that it isn't plain uuencoding
without the extra UU header and footer data, but it is specific to
the USENIX images).  Cleverly enough, people then started writing
software that would decode the data and display the picture, and
folks then started including their pictures in their email headers.
I vaguely recall an X-based GUI mail program that would pop up a face
when you opened someone's message if the X-Face: header were present.
What a delightful example of how to program for viruses, and way before
Outlook hit the scene :-)

Thus, you must go through the steps above to generate your own X-Face:
header (well, if you want it to make any sense; you *could* just put any
old garbage in there, and according to at least one subscriber here that
would be completely valid and logical).

Now, on the other hand, if you already have an x-face file and you
simply want to include it, the answer is RTFM to learn about my_hdr.
I suspect, however, that's not what you were asking.

   Anybody know of an X11 program to display these?

I use 
macro pager \ef |view-x-face.pl\n

Get the perl script at http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/view-x-face

You need the compface package, and icontopbm (both readily available),
but you pipe it a message and it displays it on X (using xview here), or
if theres no X terminal it'll convert it to ASCII which works nicely
(pbmtoascii).

Going back to the original point, the compface package has info on
making an X-Face in the man page IIRC.
