Embedding background mp3 in outlook 2003

patwa_2

Hi,

Probably a simple question but one of those you don't often think about until you need it. How do I embed an mp3 audio file into an e-mail so it plays in the background in Outlook 2003? It seems simple enough in Outlook Express, but I can't find an option to do it in 2k3.
Thanks.
Hussein.

That'll drive recipients crazy, not to mention make e-mails large to send!

Thanks, that's a pain though. We often get e-mails from a cousin of ours who embeds music in the message, but it doesn't come through at our end with Outlook Express. I checked the message source and it shows the source file path on his hard disk, which rather makes sense as it's not accessible from our computer when we're reading the message. I guess he'll just have to create a powerpoint presentation or something and do it that way as an attachment.

Thanks for the link, I didn't know that this was actually blocked after SP2, but in another way I can see the logic behind it.
