Shirley:

This has nothing to do with your e-mail program.
Just click on the link I'm giving you.

http://bestsmileys.com/pageindex.htm

when you click on the link, you'll find yourself at a smiley's page. click on one of the smileys and the next page will bring you codes on the left side and graphics on the right side. Even if you don't see the graphics on the right side, just select one of the codes on the left, (try this as an experiment). copy the code into your clipboard. then come back here and post a reply and hit the paste thing. You know, the copy and paste function.
You will not immediately see the graphic immediately. You will only see the code. After you hit "submit reply" and the post appears in the thread THEN YOU WILL SEE THE GRAPHIC!!

So when you have a few minutes and want to experiment, give it a whirl, okay?
