Adding a song that plays in an Outlook email -- can't get to work

[hopeful]

Hi!

I would like to have music begin to play when someone opens an Outlook email
that I send, and I was wondering if anyone knows how to get this to work.

I am wanting to do this for sending email to someone who is very ill, so
your help will be oh so very appreciated!

This is what I did:

Opened Outlook Express. Clicked on Create Mail. Typed an email message.
Clicked on Format. Clicked on Background. Clicked on Sound. The Background
Sound window appeared. In the Background Sound window, clicked on Browse.
Navigated to the folder that contains the sound/music file I wanted to add to
the email. Then double clicked on the sound/music file I wanted to add to the
email. Then clicked on OK. Then clicked send email.

As soon as I clicked on "send", I got this message: "One or more of the
pictures in this message could not be found. When you send this message these
pictures will not be included. Are you sure you want to send this message?"
(Note - there's no pictures in the email, just text and the option of sending
the background music.)

The only way to send the message is to press "ok".

The recipient (not an Outlook user) doesn't hear any music playing when they
open the email.

I tried "attaching" the song as an attachment, but that doesn't help, either.

Might you know how to get this to work in Outlook? (Even as far as not
getting the message of "One or more of the pictures in this message could not
be found. When you send this message these pictures will not be included. Are
you sure you want to send this message?")

I just can't tell you what your help means to me! It is such a gift!

Thank you oh so much!

AFAIK, Office Outlook has no way of sending background sounds with messages.
It is meant for a business environment, and you wouldn't want random noises
from your neighbor's cubicle.

What? With Windows?
