Description Ralf Mardorf 2015-06-01 07:30:34 UTC 
Hi,

likely Evolution 3.16.2.1 ignores the Face guidelines.

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2015-June/msg00000.html

If I receive emails written with Evolution, that include a Face in
the header, the pics are broken in Claws, but ok in Evolution. Faces
sent from Claws are ok in Claws and Evolution.

Regards,
Ralf

Evolution used to check for message size, both image dimension and actual byte data and claimed when the image was too large at the beginning, but that part is gone since changes for bug #573878.

From your evolution-list thread and also from bug #222423 comment #9, the URL for a bit  more information can be found here:
http://quimby.gnus.org/circus/face/

I will re-add the image byte-size check.

I made it warn when the Face image is too large (file byte size). There are new strings, even a bit techy, thus it'll go to the development version only. I also wanted to make it smart in the composer, thus it warns on open there as well, and offers a button to change the the image straight away, instead of going to Edit->Plugins->Face->Configuration. It warns there too.

Created commit 6d311c8 in evo master (3.17.3+)
