I don't have it installed. Can I go home now since I'm not in IT any longer?  :)

Most of us are IT people, so we would probably have it installed. But you know 
end users, they click on everything and  will attempt to install something 
anyway.

Who's going to do that though?  this isn't aimed at Doug as I know what it's 
like trying to convince marketing folks that something is a really dumb idea, 
but honestly, if you received an email that had a video in it and you couldn't 
play it, how likely would you be to actually go try and install the software 
required to do so?

Paul here brings up a very good point about PC's not having QT installed by 
default.

Something we've found helpful is to try and remove as many obstacles for the 
end-user as possible, so they can focus on being more productive.

Maybe you could include a download link to apple.com in the sig so that way 
end-users have an easy 1-click method to update their machines and then see the 
signature video?

Whilst on a personal note that sounds plain wrong as a default signature, have 
you informed them that you may find quite a few companies will actively 
quarantine/redirect/block mail with "multimedia" stuff on it?

Also (and this is just curiosity not aimed at you personally) why would you 
choose to include a sound file that uses a format that most computers (unless 
you deal with predominantly Mac users) won't have installed by default?

Subject: Assistance with eMail footers

I need to include an excessively large eMail footer with every eMail, including 
all Replies and Forwards. In addition to the eMail footer, it needs to include 
a Signature for every message (including Replies and Forwards). The Signature 
must include large graphics and preferably animated GIF files. Finally it 
should include some kind of sound file (preferably one requiring Apple 
Quicktime as a player).

I did tell management that having a video play in each eMail was a bit 
excessive, but they did ask me to investigate this possibility as well.

I've noticed a few of you seem to have expertise in this area and I'm hoping 
you can assist me in setting this up

Thanks!
