sound for both outlook and outllook express

[bbxrider]

for win2k, outlook 2000, and outlook express 6.0

i can 'embed' a sound file in oe using the format|backround|sound, the sound
is played by both oe and outlook

i can 'insert' a sound file in outlook by 'inserting as text' html
code/vbscript than invokes a sound file, (it actually
seems to embed the sound file in letter) but if the
email is received by an oe client the sound does not play, it only plays if
opened by outlook
so...
is there some way to send an email with a sound file using outlook where the
sound is also recognized/played by oe


outlook is my preference, i use oe for the ease changing to/from various
different email accts.
it seems my email friends are about 1/2 oe and 1/2 outlook and various

thanks, it makes easier to put sound in outlook email using word but that
method
still doesn't play sound when the recipient uses outlook express for the
client
any other ideas for that???

It sure does. Make sure that the recipient is able to play midi-files and
that it isn't muted.
