I normally enjoy the off-topic discussions of a technically-minded group
of people, but this kind of message isn't why I subscribe to ALE.
I did learn from it that the colon and parentheses are rendered by
Thunderbird as graphics. If you want to disable this transformation of
emoticons:
Edit -> Preferences -> Display -> Formatting -> Plain Text Messages ->
uncheck "Display emoticons as graphics"
Respectfully,
