If any of you have wondered... by Mnjul on 05-04-2004 at 10:19 AM
With MSN Messenger 6.2's "new" feature, you can see the emoticons in real time when you type their codes. But hey, have you ever wonder how to see 
in real time then? Obviously typing <:o) sequentially doesn't work, because Messenger replaces :o with 
immediately when you type them and so it looks like <![[Image: msn_surprised.gif]](http://shoutbox.menthix.net/images/smilies/msn_surprised.gif)
) . If you really want to know a workaround, here it is...
1. Type <o) first
2. Between the < and o, insert a : . Bingo!

You should file this to the Microsoft team also, so they can A) fix it and B) make an off-switch for this *beeping* "feature"...

I noticed that after reading a post saying something about and then I did some tests.

Oh...
...Choli is right, sorry for that...I need to edit my previous post. If so, this post may be a little bit useful...I want to move this thread to M/W Messenger, would you agree with me? 
The reason why it doesn't work is, when Messenger "interpretes" :o into , it internally makes it :-O. Of course, <:-O) wouldn't result in .
