I'm using windows 7 and Windows Live Mail.
I'm trying to write and send a quite important email and every time I try to type (6) - a sodding emoticon appears instead.
How do I stop this happening?

There is probably an option to turn off emoticons. Sorry if that seems unhelpful but here is a much better answer:
Do not type (6) -- because the danger is that whoever receives the email will be using equally bad software, so it will be turned back into an emoticon at their end. |

Why not type six

can you use (six)? Or put a couple of spaces in it ( 6 )?
|

second that emotion

I know it seems weird, but the (6) is actually quite important.
perhaps a space, as you say, Ted, is the way forward. As for turning them off, I can't find a way to do it. Your point about the receiver seeing the emoticon instead of the number is a good one, ramruma. Thanks chaps. |

I don't know whether this will work . . .
Between the brackets, hold down the Alt key and type 54 on your numeric keypad |

Use (vi) imo

hes having trouble using windows live mail, if he tries vi he will be fooked
|
|
By:
He's TRYING to use (vi), that's the problem!
|

By:
study, try inserting a backspace after the emoticon and then deleting the emoticon... there must be a better way but you might find that workable with for now
|
|
By:
alternatively, write the whole email in notepad or a similar text editor and then just copy & paste into the body of the email

Use a different email account ffs.

By:
cmat means client, not account, but no matter
 The proper solution is as follows: Options - Compose then uncheck the box for converting special key strokes to emoticons |

I've only got 7
3 with Orange, 3 with Yahoo and 1 with G-mail Not used Windows Mail since I first came on the net years ago, can't recall what it was called then. |

By:
only 7? surely you have to have a different one for each chitchat account?
 Windows Live Mail wasn't around years ago, it replaced outlook express, which was much better imo |
|
By:
Didn't work for me, that, muntz.
None of those seem to exist on my Live Mail screen, badger. We're not all as ancient as you CMAT, just 'cos you used Roman Numerals as a kid.. Anyway, I have now found the answer after much research, if anyone ever needs it..... ctrl and Z pressed together does it! |

Needs to turn off autocorrect imo

Hi mate, a really good free email is Mail.com, I've just checked and studyform@mail.com is available. so is studyform@myself.com is as well.There are dozens of addresses you can choose from and you can have many others on the same account if you want some you can change or throw away.
