Include Smileys in Email

[Glowworm27]

Hello,

Not sure if this has been talked about in this forum, but here goes.

I want to use smileys in my email. I would realy like to use the Free smileys on-line however our office firewall prevents using that service.

Is there another program or VBA app that will allow me to use Emoticons / Smileys inside our local intranet? with the same or similar look feel of smiley central?

Thanks

Have you tried saving your smileys as gifs to a folder in My Documents and inserting them as pictures in your e-mail?

I was able to clean up one office where everyone had "Huntbar" installed which I wanted to remove.

For those that wanted to use smileys, I saved them as simple gif files in a sub folder in My Docs.

They can now insert the gifs as pictures in their e-mails with out any extra Internet traffic created by the "data-miners"

and... the animated smileys should also work.

If you want to use basic in-line emoticons and you use Outlook2000 or later. You could use the setting... "use MS Word to edit emails"... (Tools | Options | Mail Format).
Word will auto correct : - ) to a small smiley. You only get the smile & sad emoticons. No colour or animations.
Sierraonsite's option gives better variety of emoticons
