If you sent it to yourself, it could find the mp3 in the directory
referenced, but others users would not find it in that same file path on
their computers. If you could not hear the mp3 file in my message, it's
most likely that you are not running OE in the Internet Zone and in IE
Tools, you have scripting disabled.

Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.
Jim, thanks for the explanation. Could you explain to me why I could hear
the mp3 file that was sent to the Comcast account and was accessed via
comcast.net?
When I clicked on "Play", I did not hear your stream play from the website.
PlayPauseStop
You would have to use a stationery template pointing to the mp3 file. At
this time, the only sound files that work using the method you outline would
be a wav or mid file and the recipient would have to have scripting enabled
and reading while in the Internet Zone which most users would not have. The
scripting is indicated below and you can hear the music being "streamed"
from my website.
