Thanks. I was able to do all the commands and I got the sound to work
on my side, but when I mailed it out the person did not get the sound.
I wonder if it depends on the e mail software that people are using as
to whether they will get the sound or not?

Hello Eileen,
There is 2 essential keys to the directions given.
1. The most important is that these directions seem to be only for
outlook
express 2002 and later. you can change the background colors in outlook
but
cannot seem to put sound into the background.
2. you must be in the compose phase of an email for the directions to
work.

Hi,
Which e mail software are the directions for? I tried doing the alt
o
in Outlook and got the favorites menu. I could not find a format
menu.
In Output Express, the alt o did not open a menu and I could not
find
the format menu there either.
Thanks,

Hi Hank,
I just tried sending myself an email with a sound as the background.
It
played until I sent the email. When I received the email it played
the
sound. When I checked my sent folder the sound played. I have no
idea
why
yours did not play. Try sending yourself something and see what
happens.

Hello
I did these steps you mention and it appeared that I was
successful
in
placing a desired song in the email because when I completed these
steps and
was placed back in the body of the message where I could add more
text
or
not the desired song started playing. So with the desired song
playhing I
sent the email.
But when I went into my sent folder and opened up this email I had
just
sent with the desired song I wanted to play in the background, no
song
started playhing, I just saw the text of the email that I had typed,
but no
song began to play. What gives?
Have I done it correctly to place a desired song in a email to be
played
automatically when opened or is there something I'm not doing
correctly? If
you can plese help me out with this, I would much appreciate it.
Happy surfing
Hank Merchant

To put music on your email do the following:
open a new message and press alt o for the format menu.
Make sure rich text and html is check
Then do alt o again to go to the format menu again and press b
for
background then s for sound or arrow up and down till you get
the
background
then sound.
Then tab once to browse then look for the sound you want
Then tab to ok and you should have your sound there.

Francis,
Here's how to set things up so that the file will play. Once
you
do
this, you won't have to do it again. So don't be scared away by
these
instructions.
First, find Windows Media Player on your system. It is
probably
already there. Let's assume it is. Look for it under Start
Menu/Programs/Accessories/Entertainment. Just arrow down until you
come to
it. (You might wish to create either a hotkey or a desktop icon for
this
application for your convenience later, so you don't have to hunt
for
it
again like that, but that is another topic).
Now launch Windows Media Player (often referred to on a
mailing
list
as WMP, for short).
Now you have to set it up so that it will always play an .mp3
file on
your hard drive when you click on the filename. To do that, go to
the
Tools
menu by pressing alt T. Use your up arrow to come to the Options
item
(it's
actually near the bottom of the menu, but since you can cycle around
and
around in this menu list, going upward will bring you to it
quickly).
Now
open the submenu by pressing right arrow or Enter.
You will now be in a sequence of "tabs," each of which is a
menu
related to one specific area of operation. Use Control Tab to move
to
the
Media types tab.
Now if you want WMP to play everything audio you need played,
from
steaming audio online to an .mp3 file, just tab to the Select All
button and
hit Enter. If you want to choose only some audio formats and not
others (no
reason at this point in your experience, I'm guessing), someone else
can
probably help you do that. But I suggest pressing Enter on Select
All.
Now, I haven't done this for a while, so I forget if you have to
then
tab to
OK and press Enter to make the settings permanent and make the menu
close.
I think so. Be careful to do this if it's the right thing. You'll
know if
you press tab after selecting all, and come to an OK button.
Okay. Now you're set up. Now, find the .mp3 file on your
computer.
Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to go to wherever it is. For
instance,
c:\my music\Christmas Carol.mp3. With that filename selected (so
that
Jaws
is speaking it when you land on it), press Enter.
and now, WMP launches, and the file begins to play.
There are more adjustments you can make, but this is the basic
idea.
I hope that helps.

Hello,
you need a programme that will play .MP3 files, something like
Microsoft windows media Player should do the job.
You need to save the attachment then load it in to Microsoft
media
player.
