After downloading IE7, OE 6 no longer codes the embedded wav or midi files
properly. It only shows the path to the file.

I have an older email I have opened and copied the code of an embedded file,
what can be done to correct this since upgrading to IE7?

Saved email: cid for background sound:

DIV /DIVBGSOUND balance=0
src="cid:003101c72849$6649ba60$6400a8c0@ezpc" volume=-600


Now it shows just the path:

src="C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Midi\Fire-mountain.mid"
volume=-600

See if this is the fix.

The volume setting ranges from -10000 to 0 with -10000 being off and 0 being
full volume.

Before you insert the background sound you need to make sure your volume
setting is correct. Double click the speaker icon by the clock. For a MIDI
file it will use the volume control labeled "SW Synth" or something similar.
It may vary depending on your sound card.

You can check your settings by clicking the Source Tab at the bottom of the
Compose Message window and looking for this tag BGSOUND balance=0
src="filepath to soundfile" and setting the volume to zero (0).

If not already there, View | Source Edit - Check it.

That doesn't change the CID in the source code.

That is already checked. This has to do with converting the Sound File when
it's embbeded into a CID source code. As you can see at the bottom of this
email, it shows just the path to the sound file and does not change the file
into a CID

Example: src="cid:003101c72849$6649ba60$6400a8c0@ezpc" volume=-600


This is what you see in the source code now:


Incorrect source code: src="C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My
Documents\Midi\Fire-mountain.mid" volume=-600

Verify that the file is in the location when you reference it. Does it play
in preview mode? If so, then go back to Edit mode (Use View | Source Edit)
and use File | Save. Then close the message and open it up again in its own
separate compose window from the Drafts folder, and then see if the CID is
there in the Source Window. If not, then something is clearly wrong.

Make sure you don't have any antivirus software set to scan email (see
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3) and if that doesn't fix it, then try going to
File | Identities and set up a new Identity and see if it works in that
Identity.
