I find it best to eschew such "nicetites". First of all, they don't
really help anything, at best their cosmetic. Second, they waste
bandwidth; even a tiny graphic is equivalent to hundreds of lines of
text. And remember, it gets sent to over a thousand recipeints many
or most of whom can't view it anyway. And finally, it generates
silly messages like this :-)
