If your news agent can add custom headers, you can add an X-face image. 
But I don't think Thunderbird or many other readers will display it. My 
old buddy, Xnews can see them, although I remember I had to tweak it a 
little to do so.

I've got an X-face that I set up, like, 20 years ago, but almost nobody 
can see it. I had even forgotten it was there, until someone mentioned 
it recently!
