From: Mike Jones on 14 Jan 2010 14:35 I've noticed some foks associating little icons with their names that appear in Pan. Is there any way to pre-associate icons on the machine itself? I'm thinking about an html-ish kind of "use your own css" thing here, but where one can pre-flag posters and subject according to one's own needs. For example, if a subject has "Linux" in it, it gets my Linux icon... ??? -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs.

Its an X-Face, look in the headers of such posts. Then google for how to do it. AFAIK there is no automagic to do what you want to do with it. You could writs a script that parses the subject header of an incoming post then inserts a relevant x-face to the headers. Thats does seem like a lot of work though for not much result, which is probably why no-ones done it. -- BigTone

(Just to add a bit to what Mr. Davison said.) Wikipedia's X-Face page goes a bit into detail, along with the usual relevant links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Face -- - That part where you got tense and screamed. I didn't hurt you, did I? - Not *hardly*.
