You cannot do it easily unless you have Word connected with OE. This is done
automagically if you use MS Office. If you just use OE then you have to add
the HTML codes for the proper Wingding or select the Wingding font and type
a number corresponding to the proper Wingding.

For example, see http://www.nextek.net/appalachianman/wingdings.html

NOTE: You must have Wingding fonts installed.
In OE, select New Message
Click Format, select Rich Text (HTML)
Scroll through Font selection box (at left beneath Subject) to see if
Wingdings are available. If so, select them.

Press and hold the ALT key and type the corresponding number on the keypad.
Make sure CAPS, NUM  and SCROLL locks are off.

For example, to get a telephone hold ALT key and type 040 on the keypad.
Highlight it and change font to say 36 for a big telephone. A list of
numeric values and the Wingding can be found in many places on the net. For
one, see http://www.dakota.net/~garth/font/wingding.htm

I made a web page containing all of them that I can easily look at. You
might do the same.

NOTE: Watch out who you send HTML e-mail to. I don't want it and neither
does this list.
