Smilies
Hi,

Is there a way to add smilies to HTML editor of GM?

I am thinking:

Upload smilies to server
Add smiles to top of HTML editor in drop down menu
Add javascript that inserts location of selected smilie (i.e its url) at cursor location in text message

Any idea how to incorporate the above? This is a highly requested feature and is already implemented by yahoo and hotmail

Also...

It is possible to prevent abuse by others linking to our smilies in their emails? I do not want to drain server resources

Thanks

Frank

It would probably be possible. Smilies are somewhat integrated into the editor (Gossamer Forum has it), but it would take a bit of work to get them working with Gossamer Mail's slightly different editor. I think the best way for smilies to work is for them to be inserted as inline images.

The images are so small, I doubt they'd have much of an effect on bandwidth, so that's not anything to worry about.
