What's this smiley 'wossname'

[Techno]

When Leon sends me a 'mail....
Nine times out of ten, there's one or more great big smileys that come as attachments......Hugely pixelated.

When I reply....His original mail doesn't show up underneath my burblings, like it usually does....
But when I check to see what I've sent...His original message is in the right place.
Derrrrr....
Wossgoingon ?

Confused of Wales.

I've noticed that your emails have got proper emoticons in them now, where previously it was just brackets/commas, etc.  So instead of : ) I now get one of these    Have you changed or updated your browser or email supplier at all?

Only thing that's changed is the updated version of Outlook Express. (Windows Live Mail)....Which has a 'table' for smileys......But I've been using those since October last year with the new PC.

Maybe I'm sending them to you first...and they're bouncing back ??

I dunno.....I'm lost !

Not sure then, beyond my limited knowhow!

Next 'mail I send you...I won't put any smileys in.....and see what happens. 
Cheers - Phil.
