Link to streaming audio in email

[Guest]

I have been asked to send an image with a link to streaming audio within an
email. How do I do that? Word was suggested to use as the editor but with
SP2 you can't do that. Help!

typing the link (or pasting it) doesn't work?

Thank you for responding. It does but that's not what I'm trying to achieve.
The goal is to have the recipient click on the graphic within the email and
the link play. We don't want Media Player to pop up. We just want the audio
and the graphic displayed.

I don't think outlook supports embedded audio due to security concerns. If
the recipients use another email client how it works will depend on the
settings in that client.

you can use any html editor to create a file containing the sound file and
paste it into outlook's compose mail window, but its no guarantee it ill
work in the recipients email client.

I was afraid you were going to confirm that. I will try the other route.
Thank you for your reply.
