Log IBM Sametime emoticons

Enable this option to capture and log all IBM Sametime emoticons on the server.

By default, all emoticons are logged and imported into chat log documents as inline images.
If this option is disabled, a textual representation of the emoticon is logged instead.

Example: Emoticon logging enabled

That’s funny! emoticon

Example: Emoticon logging disabled

That’s funny! rofl [laughroll]


Size reduction

Disabling emoticon logging can help with substantially reducing the size of the chat log database. For example, the emoticon above is 5444 bytes in size, whereas the textual representation of it is only 16 bytes in size (That’s a whopping 99.7% less!)
