If I cry will that help ????

sorry I don't know

LOL Wallace, I got all excited then when i saw someone had replied

Thanks anyway.

What about if I stamp my feet and shout ;it's not fair'

You can click on the little smiley face at the top of your email box, and it will give you a few.... not a vast amount though.

I haven't got a little smilie face.

Hmmm... does it say anything about ticking a box for text editor or something?

Erm don't think so, will have another look.

Nope nothing.

Have looked all over but it doesn't mention emoticons anywhere.

can't you use them the old fashioned way and type them out?

In tools at the top of the new email - is rich text editor on or off?

Typing them out means that they are read like that at the other end too

Erm not sure what you mean.

I can do these ;) :O but they look crap in the email and don't quite get my point across.

Yep You need to acces the rich text editor thingy and I can't remeber how to do that -try via Options/Personal signature and there should be an on of tick box there.

Ok thanks will look for that in a mo.

have discovered it's via the TOols bar

where it says send, save draft etc

We will sort this, or I will go nuts

If your web browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or later, you can use rich-text formatting in your messages. You can change the font style, color, and size, or choose a background color for your messages. From the rich-text formatting toolbar, you can also add emoticons (symbols that represent emotions) to your e-mail messages.

1. Go to the Mail page.
2. Click New to compose a new message.
3. Click Tools, and then click Rich-Text Editor ON. (If the menu says Rich-Text Editor OFF, the Rich-Text Editor is already on.) When the Rich-Text Editor is on, a toolbar appears above the text area.

If i click on tools all I have is dictionary, spell check and theasurus.

that's waht I was trying to say!!

It doesn't say rich text editor anywhere.

so you're not using internet explorer?

I don't know then
