When my pet rock wakes up from its ten year nap. I will tell it about
this conversation. My wife bought it for me when we were in Oz. So I
call it Dinkum.
It was born in the area of Uluru and is red and blond. Yes, it is a fair
dinkum. :)
{Sorry Chris but it is true.}

That always bugs me. When I type as ASCII smiley I expect to see an
ASCII smiley darn it! Not some graphical emoji!

Go to menu "Tools - Options", choose "Display", then "Formatting".
Uncheck "Display emoticons as graphics". Confirm with "OK" :-)

Fabulous, thanks! Strangely I didn't even consider googling it. I
guess in retrospect I was more interested in complaining than in
actually fixing it.

Funny how those of us that have been using computers since before the
internet do that. ;-)

My complaint is that I have to remember if the recipient used Windoze or
Linux. And whether I should use [colon] [dash] [close brackets] or
[colon] [close brackets]. But that is a matter of self congratulatory
pride. ;-)
Now if I could make everyone put a LF CR after the double dash in their
sigs to stop the sig being incorporated in the reply. I would be very
happy indeed. (Yes Jim Henderson. I am talking to you. :P )
