As Craig points out, what you need to fix is the ATK init file
mechanism, in the example given.

Sure, another solution would be to alter the Messages code to put X-Face
into the composition area.  That's another approach.  Personally, I
don't like it as much.  If I wanted an X-Face header, I'd want it
*whether  or not* I sent my mail with Messages -- I'd want it
automatically even if I sent mail with, say, CUI or VUI.

Anybody who's running a mail-reader that is too dumb to filter out
headers such as "X-Face" is already so totally accustomed to seeing
garbage headers that one more isn't going to make any difference... --
