Well, useless.
The display of the smileys has not changed at all.

I don't understand. Can you elaborate?

## Critique

I expected this addon to, well, insert emojis to an e-mail, that is a short Unicode sequence, and only that. Something simple, lightweight, private.

It turns out that default mode is to insert *images*, implemented as link references to remotes images stored on an external network, that the recipient will have to download when they open the e-mail.

It is *very* different (and unacceptable to me). This should really be clearly announced in the description.

There's an option to hold shift key while clicking an emoji, to insert Unicode, but no option to disable insertion of image references once and for all. Details in https://github.com/mganss/EmojiAddIn/issues/14 and perhaps https://github.com/mganss/EmojiAddIn/issues/20 .

## Rating

So, how to rate that ?

The add-on appears to work. Had it titled "insert link to remote emoji images into your e-mails", it would deserve 4 or 5 stars. Current title create expectations, current implementation deceives them.

Basic features work, rating at least 2/5.
Expected feature can work but too clumsy and no option to have it right once and for all. Therefore, 3/5.

I stick to inserting strict Unicode emojis (no embedded images, no link to externally served images) by simply copy-pasting from any web site that shows lists of them, for example https://getemoji.com/ .

## Possible futures

There is still room for an addon similar to this one, but that only and strictly shows unicode emojis as they would appear in the e-mail if I pasted them.
Or an option in this add-on.
High-value bonus points for filtering emojis by "portability", or show how they will probably appear on recipient's screen. Now *that* would be a really great extension.

In 1.6.0 there is now an option to insert characters instead of images by default.

Fun add-on. Would be great if there were an option to allow the insertion of actual images instead of links to remote images. That may add a tiny bit to the size of the email, but so many people are setting their email clients not to allow remote content. Thanks.

Addon is great, what I miss is adding your own smilies.

This is a very promising extension, and quite useful. However, a couple of caveats:
1) There should be an option to make Unicode emojis standard. Quite a few mail programs dislike non-Unicode emojis.
2) The emoticon button currently in the formatting/typing command bar will only allow me to add one emoji. After that it stops working. In fact, the button is so useless that I would like an option to get rid of it.
If you could fix the two items above, this add-on would certainly merit five stars.
In the meantime, thank you for your hard work so far!

UPDATE: I have changed my rating to five stars after the dev's reply (incidentally, thank you for answering so promptly). The reasons are:
1) If it's on the near-future agenda, that's good enough for me.
2) After researching this a bit, I find that I mistook—what I now discover to be—TB's built-in (and less-than-useless) emoticon button on the formatting bar for one inserted by this extension. Sorry for the confusion. Mind you, I would still like to get rid of it ;-) Apologies again.

Thanks for your feedback. The first item is on the agenda. The second item I don't understand, can you provide more detail, ideally by opening an issue at GitHub? Thanks

Thank you so much for your work/plugin!

Love the enormous amount of smileys with all the skin tones.

However, a few improvements are needed IMNSHO.

* I know you can shift-click for Unicode instead of img, but unicode should be the standard. All the email recipients otherwise will get the message "for security reasons, some elements have been disabled". You don't want your recipients to receive such messages just because of a smiley, and you don;t want them to have an extra button to push just to see your smiley. It makes no sense. Even when the smileys are graphically better, img is NOT the standard way to go. Another solution would beto have a "unicode" checkbox in the smiley-menu to (un)check (of course remembered when Thunderbird shuts down).
* The button to switch on/off the emoticon panel should be next to the original emoticon button. I have seen with other plugins that it can be done. It is a message typing/formatting function and should be in the message formatting/typing command bar.

Thanks for the kind words and your feedback.

* I think it's a good idea to make image emojis a configuration option.
* The formatting toolbar is only present when composing an HTML message. It is not there for plaintext messages.
