I apologize if this is not the correct newsgroup to ask this question :
In fact I did ask this question before and I received an answer from one of
the MVPs, but I lost the copy.
This is what I did :
Create Mail > Format > Background > Sound > browse to locate my choice of
music, Click Open > OK
( I chose MP3 instead of .wav or midi, because they take too long to upload
and send ).
This is my problem :
I sent that to myself for testing. Music came on as soon as I opened the
e-mail.
But, when I sent it to someone else, the recipient was unable to hear
anything.
The answer I received before was about recipient having have to change a
setting, but I don't remember what.
Would someone please refresh my memory ? Thank you.

One, MP3 files are not an option when adding music.
Two, What the recipient has to do to fix the problem, depends on what email program the recipient is using.
Do you know what OS and what email program your recipient is using?

" One, MP3 files are not an option when adding music. "
Other than " size " issue, why is it not an option ?

" Two, What the recipient has to do to fix the problem, depends on what
email program the recipient is using.

Windows Vista with WM, and one has XP with OE.

For the one with XP and OE, have them double click on the speaker icon (in the system tray) and turn on, or increase the volume, in the SW Synth control. If this volume control is down or off, you wont hear music in an email. I don't know why the Vista, WM user would not hear the sound.

WinMail will not embed an mp3 file so that is why the recipients didn't get
the message. It will only embed the file types that are presented when you
choose Format | Background | Sound. The reason you heard it on your machine
was because the file was being referenced off your hard drive.
