howdy neighbor,
Ha! From your suggestion, I've deduced that the probelm was caused by the 'not equal to' pair of greater-less than signs in the code sample.

This seems to only occur when I include the smiley AND the existing message is included and it is above the auto-quoted message. I guess it looks like a mismatched style attribute or some other problem with a style attribute to the UT parser or at least it seems to confuse it.
