Emoticons and italics, bold, quote, etc in private messages

Maybe I'm just missing something very obvious but I can't find the BBCode Editor for private messages.
I've become somewhat dependent on those little emoticons to show when I really laugh at something - and I feel stymied in terms of being able to display my appreciation and laughter without them.
It takes longer and just doesn't seem the same to say, 'I just laughed really hard at that.'

I also wanted to quote something funny someone said and couldn't find the quote function.

Can someone tell me where these tools are located in private messages? I have a feeling I just need to click on something to open them up. I just don't know where or what to click.
Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

@aidan,
Good question. Their egregious absence makes me think they want us to use the old fashioned sideways text emoticons!
Ex.: x-D = Laughing, 8-D or :-D = Very Happy , !-) or ;-) = Wink

That's a dirty trick! X-']

@Region Philbis,
Thank you guys for your help. I just figured it was my technological incompetence or spaciness kicking in.

I'll try your suggestions.

thanks again.
