You can also insert a sound file that resides on a publicly accessible web server instead of attaching it to your message in Windows Mail or Outlook Express (but not Windows Live Mail): The music plays only if the recipient uses an email client that understands the code and is set to play music automatically. Also, make sure Outlook Express is set to send copies of images and sounds you include instead of only referencing them.
