ANNOUNCING:
			facemail 1.0b1

	    A GUI Mail User Agent that presents messages
	         using small images of each sender.

SYNOPSIS:

facemail is a Python/Tkinter based program for monitoring mail boxes
and displaying a face for each message. The name and date are
displayed below each face. Moving the cursor over any face brings up a
brief header description from the message. Button 1 on any face makes a
new window to display the associated message.

facemail understands `X-Face:' entries in mail items, as well as `blit
ikon' 48x48x1 files, `xbm' files, and JPEG and GIF image files in the
faces database. facemail also understands `X-FaceURL:' entries in messages,
and will fetch a new face from the URL into its cache.

facemail is MIME compliant and allows mail composition with attachments.
