TB doesn't send the pictures, the pictures of the smileys are only seen by recipients also using TB or recipients uing mail clients that also translate the codes to pictures. __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat!

And it only works from v3 and up IIRC. You can enable the RTV by clicking on the message body with the right mouse button and uncheck 'Use plain text viewer' You can enable the viewing of smileys by via the same procedure checking 'Smileys' __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat!
