Melissa, Thank you for your comments. Very sadly for Linux enthusiasts that we are, the dreaded MS does tend to lead the way. It is possible to send e-cards to recipients, not requiring them to search the web for their prized picture and sound. The sound files can easily be found in 'openoffice'

Dear Carroll, Thank you for your comments. Please have no fear! The technology is already there and the potential for development phenomenal. Anti-virus scanners should recognise wav, ogg, or mp3 files. It only requires placing in the background of the e-mail, hopefully without the need for

Dear Sir, Thank you for your comments. If the sound file were to be active as an exe file, on the opening it should trigger action. It must be possible to do, although I do realise could be anti-social if abused. Perhaps the Mozilla or Evolution people may have ideas. Best wishes, Malcolm

Dear Charlie, Thank you for your comments. E-mail sound may not have a need for html and the requirement for hugh downloads can be avoided. E-mail sounds tend to be around 35k or 3 seconds modem action. Not very much fun sending a Christmas card to a recipient, who has to look up a web page to
