This might be a touchy subject for fanatic or business level Outlook users but I wanted to ask this anyway.

I know that Outlook supports emoticons as when I type :-) Outlook converts it to and it also does this for :-( and :-|. However, these are of course very old fashioned looking and quite limiting in choice.

I could insert an image each time, but an autoconvert feature such as in Skype would be better.

Anyway, how can I improve Outlook’s emoticon support?
