Hard Picons
-----------

   Gnus can display picons for you as you enter and leave groups and
articles.  It knows how to interact with three sections of the picons
database.  Namely, it can display the picons newsgroup pictures,
author's face picture(s), and the authors domain.  To enable this
feature, you need to first decide where to display them.

`gnus-picons-display-where'
     Where the picon images should be displayed.  It is `picons' by
     default (which by default maps to the buffer `*Picons*').  Other
     valid places could be `article', `summary', or `"*scratch*"' for
     all I care.  Just make sure that you've made the buffer visible
     using the standard Gnus window configuration routines - 
See Windows Configuration.

   Note: If you set `gnus-use-picons' to `t', it will set up your
window configuration for you to include the `picons' buffer.

   Now that you've made that decision, you need to add the following
functions to the appropriate hooks so these pictures will get displayed
at the right time.

`gnus-article-display-picons'
     Looks up and display the picons for the author and the author's
     domain in the `gnus-picons-display-where' buffer.  Should be added
     to the `gnus-article-display-hook'.

`gnus-group-display-picons'
     Displays picons representing the current group.  This function
     should be added to the `gnus-summary-prepare-hook' or to the
     `gnus-article-display-hook' if `gnus-picons-display-where' is set
     to `article'.

`gnus-picons-article-display-x-face'
     Decodes and displays the X-Face header if present.  This function
     should be added to `gnus-article-display-hook'.

   Note:  You must append them to the hook, so make sure to specify 't'
to the append flag of `add-hook':

     (add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-display-picons t)
