In 1984 J. Clunie and T. Sheil-Small proved that for any complex-valued and sense-preserving injective harmonic mapping $F$ in the unit disk $\Bbb D$,  if $F(\Bbb D)$ is a convex domain, then the inequality $|G(z_2)-G(z_1)|<|H(z_2)-H(z_1)|$ holds  for all distinct points $z_1,z_2\in\Bbb D$. Here $H$ and $G$ are holomorphic mappings in $\Bbb D$ determined by $F=H+\overline G$, up to a constant function.
We extend this inequality by replacing the unit disk  by an arbitrary nonempty domain $\Omega$ in $\Bbb C$, and improve it in the case where  $\Omega = \Bbb D$,  F(\Omega)$is a convex domain and$F$is quasiconformal. As an application we show a result on characterizations of quasiconformality of$F$in the case where$F(\Omega)\$ is a convex domain.

In the introductory part of this talk,  together with an explanation of the subject,  we give a brief review of investigations and some important observations  on quasiconformality of harmonic mappings.
