The option has been available in KMail for about two years now the HTML 
hater's will dislike it as they prefer pure text.

Its become very popular on other mailing lists I belong to as if your name was 
not badge enough you can include, in effect, your Avatar as well.

From the X-Face howto's I've read it can be done with any outgoing mail system 
the clincher is the mail client used to read mail as this will determin if 
its viewable by the recipient or not.

Sourceforge has the source files for creating your own X-Face if your mail 
client does not support profile image like KMail does.
