I seem to recall being able to view x-faces on the console a few months back. To be sure the x-face appears on its own buffer, rather than in-line.
Now I can only see them when running emacs under X (although I can save the x-face with the command x-face-save and view the resultant file with say fbi). Aside from my MUA, wanderlust, I have the following packages installed: x-face-el, select-xface and bitmap-mule. As part of my wanderlust (.wl) configuration I have: ;; Substituted when using bitmap-mule instead of x-face-el ;; (autoload 'x-face-decode-message-header "x-face-mule") (autoload 'x-face-decode-message-header "x-face-e21") (setq wl-highlight-x-face-function 'x-face-decode-message-header) Does anybody know what am I missing?
