> I have just encountered a series of AV messages that TB! cannot draw
> an image after using the "Insert Smile" dialogue window

Thank you for being such an adventurous beta-testing friend. Have you
had the opportunity to have a look at the except.log file? In my case,
there were dozens of lines of text that all said the same. The beginning
of the error log contains some words about -wait, I found it:
> GifImage:8 EInvalidOperation Canvas does not allow drawing

This was the start of a cascade of more errors. When I tried out some
smilies that I would send to me, I found that there were some doubles
(the kissy ones in the first line) and that some of them didn't seem to
have a correct handle i.e. :handle: Some missed the final >:< at the
end. And when I received those, they wouldn't show up correctly.


> The AV windows cascaded. I had to close TB! with the Task Manager.

My Bat certainly has been much more experienced in crashing than yours,
every now and then I have some troubles with that. If I restore it from
tray, sometimes TB can't be motivated to go back at work: The freshly
maximized window, although set as active, doesn't react on any of my
clicks then. TB can't be terminated the regular way then and must be
aborted by task manager. This time, however, when fiddling around with
the "insert smiles" functionality, my TB had a heavy hick-up for some
seconds before it finally crashed and closed itself without me having it
stopped. I saw IIRC some alert boxes, too, but all happened much too
quick.

I agree with you that this feature should be reworked in-depth.
