It all depends. In the latest release of Eudora actually done by
Eudora, they turn into icons.
The Icons actually let you know there is something else

The problem is that often there just isn't enough context to realize
that the person is trying to be humorous/ironic/sarcastic. In
traditional print, you'd have lots and lots of written words to
realize this. In realspace, you can judge the body language of the
person making the statement.
I use both WPC and Mac. I am neither.
Your comment shows minimal attention, or is just gratuitous.

You can get a really groovy short-wave set that will fit in a purse or

I have opined before that changes in distribution will make us much less
