Outlook Express Format BG Sound

[Patrick]

Hello:

I have placed sound in the background of many emails on my other computer,
but I just installed this new computer and I can not insert sound so it will
play in the background of email that I send.

I can select the file, for example .mid and insert it, but it will not play
on my computer or on the recipients computer.

I have Windows XP Pro and Microsoft Office 2003 installed.

I select Format, Background, Sound, file type .mid and the file... and even
though I select it the sound will not play?

Is there something I should be specifying somewhere to "activate" this
option/feature? I don't recall having to do it in the past?

Thanks so very much for your time and consideration,

Patrick

I have Windows XP Pro and Microsoft Office 2003 installed.

But your subject says Outlook EXPRESS.......which are you using, Outlook
2003 or Outlook EXPRESS?

Sorry for the confusion... I use Outlook Express and also have Internet
Explorer 7 installed. I was just trying to provide info about my system.

And yes, it's involves Outlook Express... and I have been able to insert
sound in the background of email on my other computers, but not this one. I
can play the sound on Windows Media Player on this computer, but when I try
to place it in the background, it appears to accept it, but it will not play,
nor can the recipient hear the sound?

Thanks for your patience,

Patrick
