<title>Photograph Message Headers</title>

<!-- NB: This is done by "Face" and "X-Face" headers. -->
<p><app>Evolution</app> automatically displays photographs of the sender of an email at the right side of the message header if the sender already embedded a photograph in the message.</p>
<!-- TODO: If I ever manage to find out if the "Edit > Plugins > Face" reliably works, create a topic page covering it linked under <link type="guide" xref="index#mail-composing-advanced" />, and link to it from here and vice versa. -->

<p>You can also manually enable displaying the photograph of the sender of an email if the sender is in one of your address books and has a photograph stored.</p>

<p>To enable this functionality, select <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mail Preferences</gui><gui>Headers</gui><gui>Show the photograph of sender in the message preview</gui></guiseq>.</p>

<p>If there are multiple matches for a contact, the first one is always used.</p>

<note style="tip"><p>You can also embed your own image in messages that you send under <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Plugins</gui><gui>Face</gui></guiseq>. The image has to have a size of 48 x 48 pixels and be in PNG file format.</p>
<p>If a plugin is not available under <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Plugins</gui></guiseq>, then please ask in a support forum of your distribution. Your distribution might have decided to disable some plugins or to ship plugins in a separate package.</p></note>
