Secondly. I like the old-fashioned smilie, made of a colon and a right

Is 
there some way to frame the colon and right parenthesis in some kind of 
brackets, to prevent the email engine from translating it into a gif?



Yes, type it backwards.  (-:  I've noticed that if I type it this way :-) in 
a chat it becomes the gif, but if I type it the other way it stays how I type 
it.
