Thank god for POP3, IMAP, and SMTP: the superior ways to use Gmail.

We were creating a chrome / firefox extensions to manipulate the gmail UI, the project was unrelated to email protocols (but I understand the snark ;-) )

The snark was uncalled for, so is drawing noses on emoticons.

They are also running into this issue: https://xkcd.com/541/

The one thing I like about emoji is that it solves this problem.

EDIT: Does HN not support emoji?

EDIT^2: How it should look: https://pastebin.com/raw/rKmTCdFX

> How it should look

A square box with 01F 642 in it? I'd rather have a nose on my smilies.

Snark is always called for, always appropriate!

edit: you downvoters are lame. What a bunch of wimps

I agree on both counts.

I agree with the downvoters of your comment.

edit: You downvoters of my comment, however, are lame!

Maybe you should explain this in the README. My first thought too was "why are they not using IMAP"?
