Inserting E-mail files (.eml) into a PPT presentation

[Guest]

I receive some good e-mail messages that have words, pictures, and
music---and they play upon opening.

I want to use some of them in a PPT prersentation for a bible class that I'm
teaching, but I can't see where the .eml file is accepted/played like some of
the others that can be inserted.

Is there a way? Can/should I try to convert the .eml file to some other
type, and if so....how is that done?
Many thanks if you can help me.

If you have Outlook express installed on the machine giving the presentation
....

.... the simple way is to hyperlink to the EML file. You will get two
nasty-grams from the MS legal department warning you about opening files
causing cancer, global warming, liver spots, and cold sores. OK thru these
warnings and the email should open.

Alternately, if you actually need for people to be impressed with the
presentation (and why else would we make one?), you can skip the legal
disclaimers from being shown to the hundreds of audience members by using an
action setting to Run program on mouse click and point it to the EML file.

Let me know if this doesn't work as you want.
