Is there any way of incorporating a mp3 file as
background music in outlook 2002?
 
Yes, but it takes some trickery to make it all work. I'm going to assume
that you are running Windows XP, can you open Sound Recorder, select file |
save as and select the change button. In the format dropdown, do you have a
choice of MPEG-3 Layer? (Yes, files needed be re-encoded by the sound
recorder. Which may mean taking a MP3 and converting to a wave and then
encoding the wave back to a wave/mp3 using sound recorder.)

Once you have a wave file encoded in MP3 format, you can use the same
methods to attach the background sound by enabling Word as your e-mail
editor and creating an HTML message. Right click on a toolbar/menu in a new
message and select Web Tools. Put cursor in body and select the speaker
icon to insert the wave.

One special note: the recipients must also have a codec loaded to
understand how to play a wave file that has been encoded MP3 format. (e.g.
Windows NT/2000 would have to have use a 3rd party codec to hear the file)
