Add music to email???

[Doug]

How do I add background music to a email. I want it to play a song when the
receiving person opens the email I sent to them.
Thanks
Doug

no way. also, most people would consider this "not polite". It's
certainly not secure.

Instead, attach a file holding music to the email, and invite the person
to listen to the music by opening the file with their program that will
read and translate the bits/bytes into music.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Gee. What's the world coming to??

All this works nomatter what email client? I assume receiver can do
something to stop email like this coming in and launching music without
permission?

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Works with most of them. Doesn't work on most webbased mailclients though.

Receiver can't do a thing without it. Haven't tried adding it to
Level1Remove yet. Could work. Or just disable the MIDI port :-D

I'd be annoyed, personally, especially if I were connecting remotely over
dialup!! Heck, I don't even like stationery or animated signatures. I guess
I'm a crank. <g>

Your not a crank. I can almost tolerate Stationary, but music...no way and
no way to animated signatures.

Can't wait until spammers discover this ... no telling what they will
send down the line ....

ability to send music in email for which, apparently, receiver can't
stop it being played (per info in above thread ... unless I'm
interpreting this incorrectly).

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

OK I thought that you meant because I did not like music, I was all of a
sudden going to get music spam.

On the emails that friends have sent, as soon as I clicked the message
closed, the music always went off also. If it happens to be something I
like, then I leave it open, but if its "Raindrops keep falling on my Head"
it gets closed real fast

Indeed, although midi's aren't a direct security breach they certainly
breach my annoyance level :-D
Level1Remove doesn't work by the way
