Smileys for your Gmail Messages

A picture worth a thousand words. Gmail now supports emoticon/Smileys provided you compose email messages in rich HTML mode.

Those yellow smiley faces (aka emoticons) are quite popular among young Internet users because they help convey emotion without writing a single word of text.

The smiley feature is now available in Gmail accounts, though the emotions are not good when compared with Hotmail or Yahoo! smileys. Here is a screenshot; you can also test them inside your Gmail Account.

What do you feel or think about Gmails new feature. Do you think they will make your Gmail experience more fun?

    Would LOVE to use smiley’s in email! How do you access them? I haven’t seen them in my email account.

    Its Simple. Click on Compose Mail. You will find a yellow colored smiley in between Highlight Color and Link

    Click on it and a list of smileys will be displayed onto the screen. Let me know if it works for you.

    There is just a slight difference, that is why many people haven’t looked yet.
