Despite the fact that my AVAT-IN event seems to fire without warning,
I have
yet to have received any avatars via the sharing feature. It's possible that based on the data I have in my SYNCDATA sub that might be expected behavior, but that is to also say I have around 2900 messages in that sub but nearly 2000 messages in a row spit out parse errors on JSON data.
That's TLDR ahead of time.
I am running this command to rescan the message base for avatars:
`./jsexec avatars.js import=DOVE-SYNCDATA -ptr=0 -all`
I don't recall avatars.js being designed to run via jsexec. Although it might, that's not really the intention - you run it as a timed event. If you want to force the timed event to run on demand or modify the command-line that runs as an event, you can do that too.

I see from the wiki that indeed avatars.js was designed to run some commands via jsexec. I'll see if I can reproduce the errors you're reporting.
