RFE: Option to switch graphical smiley off in conversation window

[David Balazic]

Hi!

I kindly request a feature (best done as a menu item under Options
in the chat windows) to turn off smileys.

Rationale:
sometimes strings that matches smiley appear in text, but not used as
smiley. For example if someone pastes some XML, it can contain the
string "xmlns:ds=...". The ":d" part is recognized as a smiley, so
the text is renedered like "xmlns(:D)s=..." and as that more or less
unreadable.

Changing the smiley theme in Preferences to "none" does not help, as
it does not affect existing chat text.

Regards,
David
