How to add Emoticons when composing html mail?

I'm using Thunderbird 1.5 and would sometimes like to insert an emoticon. Is that possible? If so, how? Thanks.

Hi dackerma,

wow, you've selected a thread that's over a year old, how did you accomplish that? ;-)

Your question though would be better placed in the Mozilla Thunderbird support forum!

Still, in the compose window you should notice the right-most icon in the toolbar below the subject line, which is a drop-down for emoticons
Keep in mind, that you could get difficulties with plain text mails
Greetings

I'll ask the same question anywhere it might be answered. When I compose emails in Thunderbird, there is no icon for emoticons above the message window. Is this an add-in that I should download from somewhere? Thanks.

No need to crosspost!

No extension needed.
Do you have the formatting toolbar displayed? Otherwise it can be found under View --> Toolbars
I often have to resize the compose window, so all icons on the toolbar are displayed.

See the screenshot:

I have used that icon to insert emoticons into html messages (1.5.0.2). However, when I look at the message received, the message does not contain an image, but more like

-D ...

Also, can icons I have on a file on my system be added to that list?
