Emoticons are nothing but text strings, like ):^| or >;-> . Just add
the text string for the emoticon you want to add.

Note that adding animated images to your e-mails will result in many
recipients not seeing it. Animation is not displayed in all e-mail
clients. Not all will convert a string of text into a graphic image; if
they do, they may select text that wasn't intended to be an emoticon,
like you saying "the file is on my system drive (C

" but they see "the
file is on my system drive (C<emoticon>". Because of this childish
stupidity, many users will disable the display of any string that might
be within an emoticon lookup table. Recipients may also not render your
HTML-formatted e-mails and instead read in plain-text mode. You'll
spend time adding animated content that the recipient may not see. Just
because you see it in your e-mail client doesn't mean it will look that
way to your recipients in their choice of e-mail client.
If you are still intent on peppering your e-mails with emoticons to
present an amateurish presentation to the recipient, see:
