See http://quimby.gnus.org/circus/face/; the header is a
base64-encoded 48x48 PNG file.  I think Face: is a "standard" inasmuch
as there is at least one MUA (Gnus 5.10) that supports it.  X-Face
uses a different encoding, is only black-and-white, and is supported
by at least two MUAs (Gnus since a while back and exmh, IIRC).
