(I usually try to add some space around the smiley :) ) (If it's a smiling smiley you can also just ignore the ending ")" :) (If the smiley is in the middle of the text :) this isn't such a great problem, but it might be a little bit confusing since you might think the parenthesis ended with the smiley...) And then, of course, there are situations where smileys seem to appear when they shouldn't... can't think of one right now, but I have seen such examples. And finally there is the problem of punctuation that can, for example, turn a sad smiley into a crying smiley. In that case the best idea seems to be to place the smiley after the dot and with a little extra space in front of it. :) -- _ _ __ ___.--'_`. __ __ _ .'_`--.___ __ ( _`.'. - 'o` ) \ \ / /__ _ _ ___ _ _ (_)__ __ _ ( 'o` - .`.'_ ) _\.'_' _.-' \ V / -_) '_/ _ \ ' \| / _/ _` | `-._ `_`./_ ( \`. ) //\` \_/\___|_| \___/_||_|_\__\__,_| '/\\ ( .'/ ) \_`-'`---'\\__, ,__//`---'`-'_/ \` `-\ uggc://jjj.yhqq.yhgu.fr/hfref/ix/ /-' '/ ` _____________________ r93...@fz.yhgu.fr ____________________ ' LIKE MY SIG?
