Actually different text-only web browsers behave differently (with
default settings).
Before this patch:
* lynx show basename of the URL of the avatar, which ain't pretty
[avatar.php?gravatar_id=955680802bc3d50476786bb3ca9cfc52&size=16]
* elinks doesn't show by default images at all, which means that only
used for padding will be visible (don't use ?)
* w3m show basename of avatar URL without extension nor query string:
[avatar]
After this patch:
* lynx show alt text, i.e. 'gravatar' (no [] to mark as image)
* elinks show alt text, i.e. 'gravatar' (no [] to mark as image)
* w3m show alt text, i.e. gravatar, in separate color (also no [])
Lynx Version 2.8.5rel.1
ELinks 0.10.3
w3m version w3m/0.5.1+cvs-1.946

I am not sure if 'type of avatar' wouldn't be easier to understand than
'avatar provider name'. OTOH the latter is more correct. Perhaps
"We use the avatar provider (type of avatar) for the alt text"?
But that is just nitpicking...

Nice, simple improvement.
