Raccoon:
It isn't that hard to ask for pics, but there is a reason why pretty much every forum and chat client has some way for someone to view the picture of the person they're talking to (or some other picture the person puts up instead) automatically instead of manually. It just enhances the whole expirience of talking and allows people to express themselves more freely and with less effort. In my opinion, it is not a worthless idea to add some sort of auto-transmission of a picture. It has it's uses (in reality) and it is practical. The problem is figuring out how to impliment it on mIRC. (and of course, I can't urge this enough, it would always be optional, just as it is with 99.9999999% of the other chat clients in the world that have this option..)
