Those emoticons are not encoded in HTML.  They're ASCII representations
as old as the 'Net, which are recognized as emoticons by Thunderbird
and, if you have not turned off the enabled-by-default option to do so,
rendered onscreen by Thunderbird as graphic emoticons when you read the
message.  If you go look through your Thunderbird mail folder and find
the actual message, you'll see the raw characters there.  This is
completely orthogonal to whether the message was composed in HTML or
not, and if enabled, it will work regardless of whether or not the
message was composed in HTML or whether you elect to have Thunderbird
render HTML.
