Here is more information about Mozilla and emoticons (smileys.) For ease 
of adding these to e-mail, you need to select html e-mail composition. 
That is frowned on in many news groups :-( . With html format chosen, 
Mozilla has an Insert/Smiley selection on the toolbar. The following 
icons can be inserted: :-)  :-(  ;-)   :-P   :-D   :-[   :-\   =-O   :-* 
  >:o   8-)   :-$   :-!   O:-)   :'(   :-X .

Given the problems with trojans, viruses, and worms that hit I.E. more 
strongly than any other browser/e-mail programs, there is a big 
advantage to using anything other than I.E. Emoticons is hardly a reason 
to switch browsers, but if that's what you want try Mozilla.
