Perhaps this is the reason that the guidelines specify text only mail.
Personally, I don't mind a little HTML mail, but as you pointed out, the
emoticons are fun the first time you see it, but they get old very fast.

IMO, the same can be said for Compiz/Beryl. They are quite impressive
when you first see them, and offer some productivity increases if you
know how to use them, but for the most part they just suck resources
from your machine and hurt the stability.
