I didn't know that one. It does work:

			{
				formatString = "<img style=\"float: left; height: 60px;\" 
src=\"https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/${from.address.#md5}\"/>";
			},

(But it appears to be slower which emphasizes that MailMate does not 
cache these images.)

Thanks for sharing. That is definitely taking the hack to new heights :)
