I have two questions. First, if you have a web site, is it alright to mention what someone else has posted, not actually posting it, but giving the link to their site, without asking them? I'm a little 'gray' on this, so please don't get upset. If I already was sure, I wouldn't bother asking. Secondly. I like the old-fashioned smilie, made of a colon and a right parenthesis. I don't care so much for the yellow-faced gif it translates into. 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? Thank you.
