I heartily agree with the suggestion to use facial expressions between angle
brackets as an alternative to the smiley face.  Several of my friends and 
I have been doing that in mail to each other since reading _Valentina..._,
and it seems pretty natural by now...besides, it is far more versatile than
the li'l :-) symbol.

Now that I look back at this posting, though I realize I haven't had call
to use the representation once <wry smile>.
