Have just been reading, http://pocosystems.com/forum/viewtopic. ... c&start=15
as a thought would it be possible for PocoMail to work with Getsmile. That program is designed just for emotions/smiley's and works with most e-mail program (not Poco at present).

If Getsmile uses MAPI to make the connection, it won't work with Poco/Barca.
Never tried it though, so I'm not sure, although all other email clients listed there use MAPI.

It can use Pop3 I have tried it with other mail programs.

That's not what I meant.
How does Getsmile make the connection with your email client?
You've to insert the emoticons into your email, so maybe it uses MAPI to connect with your email client.

Due to the security risks involved by using MAPI, it isn't yet available in Poco/Barca.
That's why I think this is the main reason why it won't work, but I could be wrong too.

Getsmile stores it's icons in sub dir's, it can work both mapi & pop. You can add your own icon to it and run it as local as all icons are on your own computer. This way it works with most e-mail progs, some such as Pegasus you copy/paste others just select.
I found the reason not compatable with Poco. Poco can't copy/paste icons you must select insert.

I was wrong then.
Maybe in a new version it will possible.
