hi,
this add on doesn't work wen emails are sent from outlook 2010. im running v 1.3.1 with TB 17 running on ubuntu13.04 x64.

Could you add a snippet of an email that fails? The source code e.g. Open the email in TB, then select Other Actions > View Source, find the erroneous section and paste something like Smiley: <span style="font-family: Wingdings; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">J</span><br> or send me an example failing email to richardquirk at gmail dot com so I can check it out? I think the smiley problem started with outlook 2010, so it certainly should (and does!) work for at least some cases.

Hi Richard,

I think I have found out the problem. It is not with your extension. I am viewing my emails using the add-on thunderbird conversations. It is somehow converting the smileys into plain text, the rest of the email is in html. Do you think you can mitigate that problem in your add-on? Or do I contact the developer of thunderbird conversations?

I'll take a look with conversations installed, see if I can see what's changing. You never know, might be easy to fix. I'll keep you posted.

I had the same problem but no "conversations" installed. The smilies are displayed correctly if one selects "Original HTML" und "View -> Message Content". With "Simplified HTML" the simileys are not replaced!

Hi, I got the same problem. I have the conversations add-on installed, mail body is viewed as "original HTML. I think just converting single 'J's could be a workaround, don't believe there will be many on their own very often otherwise.

[richq]

Been looking a bit at this as the conversations author has some hints on how to get the original HTML out of the TB database on his blog. It looks pretty complicated, but may be doable. Failing that... crappy J/L workaround ahoy.

Any news on this? Still not working for me.
