slrn with Ascii-X-Face Representation

This screenshot might be of interest, as it uses some scripts and Macros kindly posted by Jurriaan to the slrn users list.
Here's my "color" section of my .slrn.rc:

This is, what I put into my .slrnrc to get the X-Face showing (Just add it at the end):

interpret /home/ra/.slang/slrnface

To achieve this, you need the macro and scripts which are available in the following tarball (thanks again to Jurriaan and Roland Rosenfeld ): ascii-xface.tar.bz2. Please edit these scripts, so they fit your system.

And last (but not least) here's the screenshot:
