Hi,

I was wondering how to make exmh 1.6.7 provided with BSD/OS 2.1 to be
able to display X-Faces. 

The exmh help abot Faces Preferences says :

X-Face command

	A command to convert an X-Face: header line into a displayable X11
bitmap.
	
	If you've patch uncompface, this can be:	uncompface -X
	otherwise you should use this:			uncompface ikon2xbm


uncompface doesn't seem to be patched since 'uncompface -X' answers "No
such file or directory" and 'ikon2xbm' doesn't seem to be present on
BSD/OS 2.1. Furthermore, I found xfaces on my system and I try to use it
as X-Face command. However, when reading an email containing an X-Face
header, an X icon appears but containing only "no mail". Does this
command can be used to this aim ? 
Furthermore, how to create my own X-Face header on BSD/OS 2.1 ?
Finally, what is a faces database ?

Thanks in advance for your help.		Gildas.
