Mail query

[Donald Hinkle]

I'm using Mail and like it.
In the beginning of using it, a month or so ago, when I typed the 
little smiley ;-)
it would always come out as a yellow face with eyes and a mouth.
Now (unless it comes through this time) it doesn't do that any more.
I don't think I've changed anything.
Nothing in Preferences seems to indicate control over that factor.
Help, plz.
