xface?
Sayeth the Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Face):

I've never heard of it myself. I've never used an NNTP client that
supported it; my ancient version of Agent certainly doesn't. And I'm >>>> happy about that; Usenet is text. Binary shit like that doesn't

Interesting. It reminds me of web sites' favicon.ico which is popular. >>> I never knew this X-Face existed. Did anyone even use it? I just know

I use xface! mostly because ascii is hard :D
I use X-Face: headers, and have been known to use Face: headers,
too.
Pan supports them, so I see those from others like
candycanearter07.
They take up just a few lines in the article header.
Apparently NewsTap --an NNTP client for Apple IOS-- supports it too.
Me, I'm stickin' with ASCII. It's a slippery slope otherwise --today
X-Face, tomorrow Emojis!-- and I'm not willing to risk that ;-P
ASCII & ANSI FTW. Animojis aren't even popular with Apple users. Haha. Although, I do want an ant animoji. Apple should let customize our own!

Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly.
