The real problem is that there isn't really an answerable question yet.

I jumped in not to deal with that, but to object what looked like an 
historically mistaken assumption (that smileys are non-textual) in one of 
the replies.

Just because they are developing for Android doesn't mean the question has
anything at all to do with Android development... It does use the Java
language.  There are often many java tutorials for questions that people
ask on here.  And this question doesn't really seem to have all that much
to do with Android specifically.

Presumably the poster wants to send the message from an android device, or 
something like that.

But then again, it's a poorly stated question so we can only speculate as 
to what they want.

Presumably the poster wants to send the message from an android device, or

Or they are just clueless...

2012-04-20 Thread barrett
Ok, so there are two types of 'smiley's there is an actual smiley character 
in the one of the unicode character sets, but that is not ascii because it 
is unicode. 

then there are the markups: things like :)  or :( or :P which are really 
just two characters that interpreted in a different way, like if you SMS 
the two characts ":)" you get the android happy face (in android) and a 
'regular' happy face in MS communicator, for example. 

Those two applications render the character sequence differently, then, 
let's say a text editor. So if you want to send ":)" via HTTP post you will 
need to send those two characters as two characters in the POST params, 
properly escaped of course, since ":" has a special meaning. 

Does that help? See how this has NOTHING to do with Android?

I was under the impression that smiley's _are_ plain text.  Or at least a 
markup language intended to be interpreted by humans.  Humans using "plain 
text" email...

Though I know at least one android device which in some cases interprets 
them and turns them into pictures.

You can't, as mail (SMTP) is strictly ASCII plain text. It was
developed before HTML and the web.

You can code your mail message as a MIME encoded mail, which means
that you can send anything in the mail, like the message coded with
HTML and the smiley also sent as a picture. But then you are not
garantied that the message could be read by the reciever.
To solve that, you could send the messsage in two formats in the MIME
encoded message, the plain ASCII that all are garantied to be able to
read and as HTML-text mentioned above.

So, read up on MIME in mail and then send the message in  ASCII and
HTML encoding.

Good luck
