It would be great if kmail could display emoticons in email as images... :-)

I remember some developer saying it to implement this "next weekend" some months ago. :-|

Kopete has a good message parser that replaces strings with icons. We might just add their code to KMail message rendering.

I think this would be a cool thing to have in KMail.

Please, if you do this, don't add the quantity of smileys that Kopete (and others, it's not really Kopete's fault) have.  There is no justification for things like:

(b) = beer
(&) = dog
(*) = star
(@) = cat

and so on.  Let's remember what smileys were for: the graphical representation of the untextable emotional content of a communication.  There is no need for a picture of any nouns - they have perfectly acceptable words to replace them.

The reason i find this so annoying is that i'm finding more and more of my IM messages corrupted because there are too many crossovers.  For example "(a) my first point and (b) my second point".  Or "So I'm crazy(?)".

Maybe a common (or is it Kommon?) emoticons dialog for KDE instead of a set for each program could be good. Having the same emoticons in Kopete, Kmail, Konversation, ... would be easier to "read" than to have diferent icons for diferent programs.
