Steps to reproduce:

I created a new e-mail-message and wrote a text with a smiley at the end (without a blank charakter before it).


Actual results:

It doesn't appear as a smiley (it appears as ":-)" )when I receive the message.


Expected results:

It should be an icon.

Tim, it's because TB never actually sends smileys as real images or at least image characters of unicode.

when there's "foo :-) bar" in the message, TB parses incoming message text and reproduces the smiley.
But for "foo:-) bar" the smiley text can no longer be recognized by TB, because it's mangled with "foo".
