Description of problem: When composing a message in evolution, the Insert->Emoticon menu option inserts an HTML <IMG> tag in the message which just references the PNG file on the local machine. This is useless for anyone reading the message on a non-Linux (even non-Fedora, or non-Gnome) platform. It ought to attach the smiley to the message and refer to the attachment in the <IMG> tag. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.12.1-3.fc8 How reproducible: Insert an emoticon in an HTML message in the evolution message composer. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Ctrl-N or click on "New Mail Message" in evolution main window. 2.Make sure Format->HTML is checked. 3.Choose Insert->Emoticon->Smiley in the body of the message. 4.Send the message. Actual results: The body of the message sent contains an HTML tag <IMG SRC="/usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/emotes/stock_smiley-1.png"> and the message has no attachments. Anyone reading the message on a machine which doesn't have that file in that particular location won't be able to see the smiley. Expected results: The file /usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/emotes/stock_smiley-1.png should have been attached to the message, and then the <IMG> HTML tag should have referred to that attachment.
