I don't know why this is cooked up on kde-core-devel. Anyway, I already 
told danimo on IRC that I don't want to receive bug reports a la 
"emoticons don't work for me" to which I will have to reply "Do you 
probably use a fixed-width font"?

I was told that some users prefer to use fixed-width font because of 
ASCII art in message footers. Exactly those users will report the above 
bug and that's why I won't implement it. If you want to see the 
original then just press V.

In the next version we can add "Replace smileys" to the View menu. Then 
you can simply add a keybinding and en-/disable the feature on the fly.

Last but not least, I've disabled replacement of the 8) smiley since 
it's not only used in source code but also in enumerated lists in email 
messages. 8-) still works though.

Ingo
