Oh BOY! Was I ever off the mark on this one -- my apologies. I remember doing that in Outlook Express and it was a really neat feature. I used to invite a firend to breakfast via e-mail (outlook express) and I'd go to the AT&T Naturally Speaking demo page and create a WAV with a British accent with all sorts of screwy comments about joining me for breakfast -- comments as if it were a butler making the invitation! She always got a huge kick out of that. What I remember about using Outlook Express to do ths was to use the FILE menu item "New Message Using . . ." That would force the new e-mail message into HTML format and then you could use the "Insert" (or something like that) feature to include a sound file. I know I sure haven't been able to find a way to do this with Windows Live Mail -- sure preferred Outlook Express. ------------ To You & Yours: A Very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !!!

Mr. Holland, In Outlook Express you can imbed a sound file into an email. What that will do is for instance, let's say it's your birthday & I want to send you an email for your birthday. Well, I can imbed a birthday song into the email & if your email client allows this, the birthday song will play when you open the email to read it. This isn't an attachment but imbedded. But, this will only work if you are reading your email in HTMl. If you take 1 of these emails with an imbedded sound & reading it in HTML & change the setting to read in plain text, this imbedded sound will not play but, the imbedded sound in the HTMl email now becomes an attachment in the plain text email. I don't know what other email clients the imbedded sound feature will work in but, it sure is a cool feature of Outlook Express If I have in any way screwed up the explanation of how imbedded sounds work, someone please straighten me & my explanation out!. Take care.

Exactly what do you mean by "embedding files" in the first place? If you mean inserting a file or files as attachments, certainly! You need to use the "Insert" menu. If you mean to have the contents of a file appear "inline" with the remainder message, I suppose it depends on the type of file being the source. I thought Outlook (not Outlook Express) provided an option to use MS-Word as the tool of composition; in that case any file you can embed into a Word document would likewise be the same for Outlook. You could always alter your composition tool to Outlook just for any messages you want to do this with, then set it back as it had been previously.
