Outlook Express will not work on Vista.

Randy, I am posting through http://www.vistaheads.com
See if you can go there and just send an email through
them - to me. You won't be able to attach anything.
Just an email. I don't put my email for public display, so you
have to contact me through a forum. Spam robots will get
ahold of public postings of email addresses. Once there, you click
on my name. I expect there should be something there to
click for contacting me. If not, I'll post another way, let me
know.

Thanks VistaRookie...
I tried sending the .HTM, .GIF and .WAV in a .zip file in case you
wanted
it, but 197K was too large?
I'll try sending it to you directly....

It still doesn't want to work in my WM unless I change Format/Encoding
to
something that is not the default, and it doesn't matter what the
default
is.
If I permanently change the default, it won't work unless I
Format/Encoding
and change it before I do the Insert/Text from File ....
Looks like I am stuck doing 2 inserts.
I suppose I could try installing OE on my Vista system....!

Posting the code made it much easier to understand
what you were using.

See if this code works exactly as you want it. I
am not in a position to test OE, but it should work
there just as well. Works fine in my WM. Copy
everything between dotted lines. Paste code into
Notepad and give it a filename with the extension
*.HTM*.

To make it work, open a new email, click Insert on
the menu->Text From File. Then choose it from the
HTML extensions list.

Feel free to customize additional code as you see fit.
Even without Body tags, it works perfect.

<BGSOUND balance=10
src="C:\Users\Randy\Documents\Laughing Gopher\Gopher.wav"
volume=-110 loop=10>

Do you have the 3 buttons* at the bottom left of your emails?
Edit Source Preview? Click source to view the code.

*If you don't, click View on a new email. Put a checkmark
next to Source Edit.

Hopefully, you realize most, if not all webmail sites do not
recoginze BGSOUND and those people won't hear any sound.
Plus some email clients don't recognize it either. Those using
text only mode won't hear it either. So only a select few will
actually hear your wav file.

Only one personal note...hearing the sound file 10 times would
drive me crazy.

Thanks "VistaRookie", but that's what I'm trying to avoid... 2
inserts...
Outlook Express does it properly with 1 insert.
My code is....

<HTML>
<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<img src="file://C:/Users/Randy/Documents/Laughing
Gopher\Gopher.gif"
alt="Gopher" /><br>
<bgsound balance="10" src="file://C:/Users/Randy/Documents/Laughing
Gopher\Laughter.wav" volume="-110" loop="10" />
<HR>
</BODY></HTML>

This works in IE and in OE.
Inserting it with Windows Mail gives...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
http-equiv=Content-Type>
<META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18852">
<STYLE></STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT size=2><IMG alt=Gopher src=""><BR><BGSOUND balance=10
volume=-110
loop=10 src="file://C:/Users/Randy/Documents/Laughing
Gopher\Laughter.wav">
<HR>
</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>

This line....
<DIV><FONT size=2><IMG alt=Gopher src=""><BR><BGSOUND balance=10
volume=-110
Should be....
<DIV><FONT size=2><IMG alt=Gopher
src="file://C:/Users/Randy/Documents/Laughing
Gopher\Gopher.gif"><BR><BGSOUND balance=10 volume=-110

WM does not want to include the Gopher.gif file.
Why not? Is there an option I can turn on?
If I add "file://C:/Users/Randy/Documents/Laughing
Gopher\Gopher.gif"
to
src=, it works fine.
Thanks....
