How to make Mail display Address book images

You can also use the MailPictures plugin.

Get the stable version 2.2 or a new beta version that was released today.

On a related note - I have been getting a few msgs that appear with customized icons in the upper right hand corner of the header in msgs (Mail.app). Is this being done with MailPictures (I have it installed) or is this some form of the X-Face type header used in newgroups, etc. I have looked at the "raw msg data" for the msg and am seeing no indication of either. Any one know how to do this?

How to make Mail display Address book images

If images appear in Mail without having MailPictures installed, then the sender is using a .mac account. I don't know of any other way images show up in Mail automatically.

In general solutions for getting an image into Mail are:

- Sender is a .mac owner
- MailPictures bundle is installed and the sender also is using MailPictures.
- You have put images manually into Images/People as described in this hint.
