This is semi-related, but I have a Tmobile MDA and I couldn't play the files either. The issue was not a codec issue, it was an email encoding issue. If I sent the message to an email account and it was then downloaded to my desktop via outlook and then forwarded on to my phone, I can listen to them. If I just send it direct to the phone, I see the attachment and it opens in media player, but it won't play. I don't know if you are having codec issues or email encoding issues, but it is a place to look.
Incidentally, if someone knows how to get around the "download email and then forward" issue that I am having, I would like to hear it.
