To have smileys on is the default behaviour on ymessenger, or at least it
was a couple of months ago when I was using it on linux.  Now the annoying
thing is that this software used to corrupt itself so often (it would get
it into it's head that you wanted a font so small it was only two pixels
high) that the only way to cope is to delete the ~/.ymessenger directory
almost every time you used it.

Yep, you've guessed it.  That turned the automatically insert smiley code
back to the default setting of ON.

Gah! HATE HATE HATE
