the following works for outlook but evidently not outlook express, at least
not mine the way i have it setup
is there another way to include sound files for outexpress or better yet a
more universal scheme
for all mail clients??
thanks for help
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<base href="file:///d:\path_to\sounds">
</head>
<body>
<div> </div>
<p><img id="muse1" src="sound.mid" height="10" width="10" style="display:
none">
<font face="Arial" color="#FF0000" size="2" style="display: none"><b><==
Sound byte is here! This line of text will not be seen by the recipient of
the message.</b></font></p>
<script language="vbscript">
Dim music1
Dim line1
music1 = muse1.src
line1 = "<bgsound loop=1 src="&music1&">"
document.writeln line1
</script>
</body>
</html>
The first base href path statement in red should be changed to match the
drive/directory you have your stationery files installed. In most cases,
this will be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery if
you have a US/Canadian version of Outlook installed.
The second base href path statement in red should be changed to match the
drive/directory where you have your sound file located. If the sound file
is stored in the same directory as the first base href tag, you can delete
this entire line.
Change sound.mid to the name of the sound file you want played when the
message is opened.
Okay, now that you have updated the HTML tags to reflect the right paths and
filename, select File | Save and save this example to C:\My Documents as
example1.htm.
Lets do it! Now that we have the HTM file built, start Outlook and compose a
HTML message. Note: Those using Outlook 2000 must not being using Word as
the email editor.
Select Actions | New Message Using | HTML (No Stationery).
Compose your note as you normally do.
Select Insert | File.
Use the File Open dialog to locate the example1.htm file that we saved in
C:\My Documents.
[For Outlook 2000] Select the down arrow next to Insert and choose the
Insert as Text option.
[For Outlook 98] Select the radio button next to Text Only and select the OK
button.
With Outlook 98/2000, it is very important that you insert the file as text.
If you fail to select the Text Only option, the HTM file will be added as an
attachment.
If all goes well, you will see a small box with the tag line of where the
sound is. Your message is ready to send.
