The only thing that gets to me is that if I start a line with a colon (for instance, in the case of a smiley face), then that line is interpreted by message mode as being a quote, so for instance if I do: :) hello there blahdeblahblahblah then the entire line above this one is in red (the color that quoted text normally shows up as). I thought that the variable message-cite-prefix-regexp would be the place to look to stop the colon from acting as a cited-text-prefix, but no dice -- even setting it to the string "XX" doesn't affect a mail or article buffer. Am I missing something? Is there another variable to use for this? Do people just put up with red lines every time they start a line w/ a smiley? Thanks in advance, -- Ami Fischman usenet@fischman.org
