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 ATT 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.

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.
Mike

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.
