General Question about HTML email capabilities

[Will]

I tried to embed an .wma in an email, in HTML format. I inserted the
webpage as text and everything works fine except the audio file I
embedded doesn't play. I use this code in the html page formated email

<embed
src="http://sitename/duel.wma"
width="1"
height="1"
autoplay="true"
controller="false"></embed>

Is it the norm now that you can't incorporate video or audio in a HTML
based email or am I doing something wrong? And yes the audio file is on
the website.

Thanks for the help.

Outlook 2003 (and probably a growing number of other mailers) won't download content from an external site automatically. It's a privacy issue, since such external downloads are often related to so-called "web bugs."
