Running XP with IE6. Suddenly I cannot add a midi tune to the emails I send
out but I could in the past. This is my procedure.
I complete the nessage and go to Format Background Sound Browse to the
midi file and click on it. In the next dialog box I click Play once Okay.
At this point in the past the music would start but now I get nothing. Any
ideas?

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.
