I wish there was a way to turn these emoticons off then.  The way it  
is, every message that uses it will have missing parts when it is  
delivered.

This is one more reason why using ckeditor in my opinion adds more  
hassle than its worth.  I would vote for having a much simpler html  
editor that you as a developer can maintain than a more full featured  
one where you can't.  As it is now, any bugs in ckeditor (like the one  
I reported regarding cut/paste not working) will make IMP look bad  
from the user's point of view.

Thanks for looking into this.  I understand that a solution is not  
possible.  Perhaps the only way to address it for me would be to  
manually move these images elsewhere and using apache rewrite rules,  
redirect requests to them to their new location.  Being able to turn  
off emoticons would be best in my opinion.
