Emoticons in OPERA-Mail ?

OK. I'm using OPERA and really like it.
But one thing I cannot accept as an eye-candy/decorating loving person, such as me, for the mail that is implemented in Opera to be very...uhm...boring. No fonts, no smileys ??

My question is, if I use Opera mail, are there any emoticon/fonts available ?

(Something like for FF, as an extension that is available for Gmail for example. )

Thanks to the understanding person, who will answer without 'rolling their eyes'.

 

a quick search reveals that perhaps some themes include smileys and others not, correct me if im wrong.

otherwise, opera mail only has text smileys, i think.

 

Opera 9 beta supports almost all the smileys,for version 8,you have to do text based ones for now.

 

Thanks WSFuser and Arup !

I can't wait for v. 9 to come out. (hopefully with ALLL the smileys that are in the Beta now !)
