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. HTH ------------ To You & Yours: A Very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !!! Holland & Bill - "`There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say,' returned the nephew. `Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round -- apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that -- as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!'" - "A Christmas Carol," 1843, Charles Dickens For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
