<p dir="auto">Hi MailMate users,</p>
<p dir="auto">sorry about the avalanche of mailing list replies.</p>
<p dir="auto">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 <a href="https://www.gravatar.com" style="color:#3983C4">Gravatar</a> service.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've attached a quick hack for the headers view which makes it look like this:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="cid:99689FC2-4523-49B8-9CE9-A71EC8B2EABA@freron.com" alt="" title="PastedImage.png"></p>
<p dir="auto">That's the default gravatar, because I don't have one myself, but a surprising number of users on this list do have one.</p>
<p dir="auto">The attached file needs to be saved in this folder:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">/Users/<username>/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/Layouts/headersFormatting.plist
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">You might need to create <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Resources</code> and <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Layouts</code> 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.</p>
<p dir="auto">Note that this does mean that there'll be quite a lot of (encrypted) communication with the gravatar server.</p>
<p dir="auto">(I make no guarantees that this will work forever.)</p>
<p dir="auto">-- <br>
