When you double-click the Insert Smile text button, a small dialogue box with an array of "Smiley" icon choices should appear. Place your mouse pointer over the icon you wish to insert. Double click it, and it will appear (as its text handle) at the point where your cursor is in the MicroEd "Edit Mail Message" body. After it is sent, it will be visible in a rich text view window. To see the one I've inserted, if you don't have RTV enabled, right click anywhere in the body text of your "View Folder" or "Browse Ticker" (if you use the MailTicker) window. Choose Rich Text View (untick "Use Plain Text Viewer," if it is ticked, that is) in the context menu which appears, and be sure "Smileys" is ticked also in that menu. Unfortunately there has been a bug in this feature's function throughout the beta series in which it was tested. And it reappeared for me for the first time, as I brought the dialogue window from "Insert Smile" up. I got a series of cascading Alert boxes which said "Canvas will not allow redrawing" and I had to kill The Bat! with the Task Manager. There's an issue report on it at Bug Tracker, I think. I'll go add a note that I confirm the bug is still present in v. 3.85.2. I really can't recommend that you use "Insert Smile" until this bug is corrected. Instead, type the "handle" in manually, or copy and paste it into your message. If you have downloaded and installed the pcwsmileys smiley set, you could bring up the web page for them at the link below, put it in a side-by-side window, and c&p the handle for the smiley image you want into your Edit Mail Message window. http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/PCWSmileys.php Hope this helps. If anything I've written isn't clear, please ask me again here on TBUDL. I'LL be happy to try to answer your question. > Could not find anything under "help" for smile. No, there's nothing there. :( :tbflaga: -- Best regards, Mary, PCWSmileys Administrator The Bat! 3.85.02 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
