Not smilies but bold text instead (google talk like)

Hi,

Smilies text is converted into images, so : ) becomes ?? .gif. Now I don’t want the gifs to appear but the text changed in to bold so it looks like : ). Also a different color would be nice (set in css?).

To know what I mean, look at google talk, they use it. This way I would like the smily option, but make it less BrEeZaH like. SO the ; ) will be reconized by making it bold/ blue instead of a smiley ??

How to do this?
