Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs There is a conflict between KNode's recognition of quote characters and emoticons (a.k.a. smileys). Namely, if the first character on a line is part of an emoticon, it will also be interpreted as a quote character. To reproduce: 1. In Settings->Configure Knode->Reading news->Viewer->Recognized quote characters, make sure the colon (:) is in the list. 2. Make sure Fancy Formatting is enabled (View->Fancy Formatting) 3. View a message that contains the smiley :) at the beginning of the line. Observed results: 4. The line beginning with :) is rendered in the colour used for quoted text. Expected results: 4. The line beginning with :) should be rendered in the style of normal text. I haven't tested this extensively, so the bug may or may not occur with nested quoted text.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
