Go back and look at the source code after the Preview and see if the volume

When I do this, I get a choice of Microphone or an output device (I
suppose for earphones?). Which should I amp up the volume for--the
earphones? (I'm using Vista, of course.)

Also make sure you have "Send Pictures with messages" set under Tools |
Options | Send | Mail | HTML settings.

Why "Pictures?" Is the sound file written in the same mark-up as a
graphic file?


You can also go to File | Work offline and send the message to the outbox
and preview it there to check what the volume level is.  You can also check
the file size of the message then to ensure the sound was embedded in the
message.  You can also check that by moving the sound file off its original
location on the hard drive and then opening the message.  If the sound does
not play, then its still trying to reference the file on your hard drive
instead of from within the message itself.

The last two sentences are interesting to me as someone who has never
gotten too involved in computer audio capaiblities. Why would moving
it from its original location (my Music folder, if it matter)
determine whether or not Windows Mail embedded it in the message?

The actual program that opens the midi doesn't matter, but I'm not a fan of
QT.

I don't like it either, but PBS insists you use it for certain
programs. BTW, could you explain how I could change the default
setting from "=" *nothing* to equals whatever the BGSound should be
set to? Thanks again!
