It may sound petty, and maybe it is, but that sort of thing is the biggest reason I decided not to switch to Thunderbird when I tried it a few years ago. I don't remember the smileys thing, but when I turn on "View messages as **Plain Text**", I damn well expect that it results in...what else?...*plain text*, and that it *not* go tromping all over asterisks, underscores and slashes deciding that it knows best.
