Build Identifier: 

After a few back-and-forth emails where I didn't seem to be getting much more of 
a response than the same smilies I'd used, I noticed that when I switched to the 
"Simple HTML View" for the message body, I could see text which was not visible 
in "Original HTML" mode.  I've created a test email which you can send to 
yourself using the likes of sendmail:

-------------cut-----------------
Content-Type: text/html;
	charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Subject: Test mail

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE>
<META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; =
charset=3Dus-ascii">
<META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.2668" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY text=3D#000000 bgColor=3D#ffffff>

<DIV>  You can see ME <SPAN=20
class=3Dmoz-smiley-s4><SPAN>:-P&nbsp;<SPAN =
class=3D795361018-26072005><FONT=20
color=3D#0000ff size=3D2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=3Dmoz-smiley-s4><SPAN><SPAN =
class=3D795361018-26072005><FONT=20
color=3D#0000ff size=3D2>But you can't see ME</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><BR></DIV>

</BOD=
Y></HTML>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Save the test email above to a file, say ~/test_email
2.Send it to yourself.  On Linux, I use:
  "/usr/lib/sendmail <your_email_address> < ~/test_email"


Actual Results:  
You will receive an email which contains the following in the body in "Original 
HTML" mode:

"You can see ME (smiley)
(smiley)"

...but this in "Simple HTML" mode:

 You can see ME :-P   
But you can't see ME 


Expected Results:  
"Original HTML" mode should display the same text as "Simple HTML", except with 
nice emoticons.
Sorry, should have said:

This happens with Thunderbird version 1.0.6 (20050716), and has been like this 
since at least 1.0.3 (I just upgraded from 1.0.3 to 1.0.6).

Thanks,
Graeme.

Yes, this looks like the same problem.  Just to clarify - the problem is with 
the theme not having a complete set of smilies, and I should be able to avoid 
this by using the standard them (I'm using the latest version of Crossover - 1.
5)?  Part of the discussion in the bug above relates to the smiley not 
displaying, which is not a problem for me - the smiley always displays.

Thanks,
Graeme.
