[MlMt] Gravatar-hack for MailMate

[Benny Kjær Nielsen]

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 at 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.)
