Thanks for the tip, I'll try that.

Besides being annoying in general, the smileys also showed wrong in the message preview window (not sure if the message recipient gets the message similarly wrong).

For example if I type ":D" it gets replaced by the smiley icon, and then back in text mode it's ":d". Not the best possible feature to change your "emotion" to the opposite one if you're using smileys. :p
