Would certainly make a lot of things easier ;-), but its never going to happen. Why would they have a problem with the text codes, if my suggested method is used the text in the message could be :star: if you are english or :etoile: if you are french, and each client would still know that they represent the star emoticon, and if you want to go down the route that they would have a problem with the ico attribute being star then it could be defined as a number if really necessary (although i think that bit could be fine as star). <econ txt=":etoile:" ico="star"/> Rich > - Dave > > > Richard Dobson wrote: > > > > But what if a client wants to use its own set of images?
