Smileys

Thanks for these suggestions.

If you are using Windows Live Mail there is an option to add emoticons. It is along the top toolbar, under the hyperlink option.

I don't know what you use to write your emails, but many email account providers do have a selection of smileys for you to use. The only other option is to use a rather complicated process involving a photo site such as photobucket, which allows you to (first save a smiley to your computer) upload a photo from your computer, then post a direct link to your email. Many people simply type :-) or :D .
