It's not so difficult to track it down in this case. Emails from
DoCoMo end up in your mailbox in the iso-2022-jp charset and
there is simply no space left for any emoji.
So like Curt wrote, what you receive is only a 0xa2ae character
emoji replacement in your email and it's impossible to match it back
to an emoji. So if your friend sends you a smiley emoji or
a sad face, it all ends up as 0xa2ae and this gets interpreted
as a space.
That's why people send the good ol' ASCII smileys if they
send across networks {*_*)~~
