This is another problem I think, I never got avatars from gaim users, 
and I think this is an error with gaim and not the transport.

Yes it is.

No it's not. I've used both Gaim and the official MSN Messenger client.
Both displayed 100% of each others avatars.

So I assume PyMSNt does something incorrectly. (Eg. following the MIME
standard instead of detecting the filetype of an avatar properly).

Ok whoops, I didn't say anything :) Good luck.

Gaim does indeed have a bug in its avatar sending code. The issue has
been discussed earlier on this list [1] and [2]. The bug has been
reported to the Gaim developers [3] and it is fixed in Gaim CVS [4].
Unfortunately, the fix has not yet made it into a release of Gaim. If
you want a quick workaround for PyMSNt, please have a look at the patch
attached to [5] (it is possible that the patch does not apply cleanly to
the latest versions of PyMSNt).

Best regards,
Lars

Just bumping my question ... can anyone else verify problems with 
sending the vcard avatar to msn contacts? None of my transport users 
avatars show up on others MSN clients.

I am seeing this with 0.10.1 as well, using Gajim as my client with a 
PNG avatar image, and jabberd2 as the server. Looking into the jabberd2 
database I can see that the image has been stored on the server, so it 
looks like pymsnt can't download/understand the avatar.
