The emoji add-on given at URL https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/emojiaddin/ does nothing for Thunderbird email. At first it says it is incompatible with versions 52 and 60, but then I looked elsewhere and got a n add-on version what was accepted but Thunderbird. The emoji's still are in text!!!!! Does anyone have a real solution that works on Windows (I have Windows 7)?
This add on fixed my problem! I kept receiving emails displaying Wingding emoticons as J. As soon as I installed this add on, the Js are now displaying as emoticons. Thank you.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.3).
Wow. I never would have thought someone will bother to write an extension and you did! Just as for others, it was small thing that was driving me crazy after hundreds of e-mails with "J's" everywhere. Thank you!!

The idea is pretty good and it seems to be working for others (so 3 stars for that), but it's just not working on my system (MacOS Mavericks), I'm still seeing the J instead of a smilie.
UPDATE: Thanks for the answer (sorry for taking so late to answer on my side). Gonna rate up to 4 just for that :). I made a comment on github, as suggested, 'simple html' doesn't seem to be the problem.

Could it be the same problem as here https://github.com/richq/smileyfixer/issues/2#issuecomment-24397676 - basically if you view the mails as "Simplified HTML" then the original markup is not visible to the plugin so it really only sees a J and doesn't know if it should be changed. You have to use "Original HTML" in the View - Message Content setting.
I think I might be able to add a workaround for this - like just change single J to :-) if it is in simplified html mode, but that might mess up some genuine emails (like if you have a pal called Jason who signs his messages "regards, J." it'd say "regards, :-)."). It'd require a better way of figuring out if it is an outlook email, or maybe even try to get access to the original HTML when in simplified mode (dunno if the TB widget I'm hooking into has that, etc..)
So, er, yeah. Add a comment to that github issue if you like.
You can change what each smiley should be in preferences. Sadly it doesn't show up as a yellow TB smiley if it is an HTML email (which is what outlook sends).
Works prefectly but the smileys are still inverted in the version 1.3 I get. Is there a way to get this fixed 1.3.1 version somewhere ? Edit Reply : Wow fast reply ! It is the same problem Chris mentioned the 2013-04-02, I have to put the Smyley in Frowny and vice versa : http://gyazo.com/b77b6689cb96930c1c66eae21105f88b

Sorry, couldnt find a place to report the bug, so writing it here. This addon does not seem to work when emails are sent from Outlook 2010. I still see a J. I am using v1.3.1 on TB17 on Ubuntu 13.04 x64...UPDATE: I am putting 5 stars for your prompt reply and also for the fact that this addon actually works! However, it breaks when used in conjuction with thunderbird conversations.

Must be something specific, as my colleagues at work use 2010 and I haven't seen a J for ages. I guess they don't smile much. I've enabled issues on github now, better to talk about problems there I think, or if you could drop me an email with an example failure I could take a look.
I find this addon very useful, thank you!Unfortunately, I am getting frowny where I should be getting smiley. I had to invert the two in the configuration dialog. It would be 5 stars otherwise. (P.S. Hey! I just noticed that even your screenshots show the inverted smileys in the configuration dialog!!)

Ha! Well spotted. You know, I fixed this in the source code back in February but never released that version. Pending review by the moderators, version 1.3.1 sorts out this bug. A new teaser screenshot shows the fix :-)
