I'm saying that an application that uses the standard netpbm toolkit does a _far_ \
better job of converting an image for an x-face.  What's more, when I take the \
website-produced image - already 48x48 - and add it to the addressbook, the image I \
see in the address-book is identical (at least to my eye) to the one on the web-page. \
When it gets sent back to me in an email, it's just a bunch of dots.

If Kmail can't use the same method (quite well described on the dairiki site) it \
should at the very least let me plug the X-Face code in directly.  As it is, the only \
way to get a usable x-face is to remove the image from the addressbook and add the \
X-Face header.

Yes, it does qualify as a bug in KMail - there's no point in including code that does \
such a poor job of handling a single-bit 48x48 image.
