I imagine what happened here is that the original person who complained has a 
mail client that turns ":)" into a graphic and though that it was being sent 
that way (as a graphic) in HTML by the sender. I know Mozilla Thunderbird 
does this "out of the box" and I had to explicitly shut off this behaviour in 
Tools->Options->Display->Display emoticons as graphics.
