There is a Easter Egg in Mail! Control-click on the Mail.app file and select Show Package Contents, then go to the Contents -> Resources folder. Find the senders.tiff file and double click on it to open it in Preview.
That's quite funny, and scary at the same time, especially the fact that you have the time and resources to find stuff like this. or something. it's meant in the nicest way, I think.
Wait, so we can have a "pic" of us when we send a mail to someone? Do they have to use Mail.app too to see it? That sounds like a cool feature, a way of a visual signature! Sorry, I'm very new to Mail, iCal, Address Book and the whole iLife thing. I'm slowly weaning myself off Office!
<strong>Wait, so we can have a "pic" of us when we send a mail to someone? Do they have to use Mail.app too to see it?</strong><hr></blockquote>Yes and yes. Actually, this feature has been around for ages and has been visible since 10.0, maybe earlier even (although you needed a plugin to add it to the headers back then, it *displayed* fine for folks that didn't have the plugin).
[quote]While Mac OS X provides the core functionality of displaying images in Mail or iChat, it is limited to either pictures you manually have assigned in the AddressBook and to .Mac accounts. With MailPictures any email address can have an image and there is no need to manually assign an image to a person.<hr></blockquote>
So, if you use .Mac and assign your image through the webmail prefs, any Mail.app user should be able to see it. Otherwise it will rely on whatever is in the receiver's Address Book. However, if both sender and receiver have this MailPictures plugin, then you can use a picture with any e-mail account and it should display fine.
Is there any reason in particular why I shouldn't download this and get everybody I know to do the same (I'm thinking problems with the next update of mail.app / 10.2.x)?
And for that matter, why isn't this an option in mail already?

OS X needs more of these.
Oh and this should probably be in Software...

Moving to Software...

So, um, like, how do you do it?

Clear as mud?
