Last modified: 2005-01-08 05:00:08 UTC
Make automatic smiley substitution easier to work around when enabled: have the substitution undone as though it were a character that could be deleted.

Created attachment 21706 [details] [review] Replace the smiley with the text representation if the user hits backspace.
Created attachment 21709 [details] [review] A small fix
I'm working on this task.
Created attachment 21716 [details] [review] This patch also replaces the "Insert->Smiley" smileys with the textual representation when backspace is pressed.
I don't think its wise to have smilies in the composer at all. Well technically its the GtkHTML Bonobo control which supports smilies. But thats a very evo/email-client centric thing. Now if some other app (like a HTML Editor e.g. Peacock) uses the GtkHTML bonobo control, there shuldn't be any smily support. There is non in HTML.
Then add a function to turn smiley substitution on and off.
Such a function is already present in gtkhtml.
Have you send the patch to the evolution-patches list (or whatever it is called?) for review?
there has been no progress on this bug-report for almost a year. Have there been any progress in the real world? In the matter of this bug of course.
David, It looks like this has been implemented already (even deployed by Fedora Core 3).
Jan Arne Petersen completed this bounty. Nice work Jan! I am closing this bounty.
