Hi:

Is there any simple way to save OE email background music to your hard
drive?

Thanks

Tools | Options | Read. Uncheck: Read all messages in Plain Text. Open the
message | Right click on the Paper Clip | Left click on the .wav or .mid
attachment | Browse to a location of your choice and Save.

The email does not have an attachment and is apparently background music for
the email. Any ideas when it is like this?

If you change to Read in Plain Text, it should show an attachment. I have a
birthday e-mail with a mid file I created sitting in my Drafts folder to
send tomorrow and just double checked. It works here.

If you have scripting enabled in Internet Explorer and are working in the Internet Zone, you can hear music that is not attached, but is "streamed" from a website, such as the sound you should hear with this message (may be slow to start playing). You can find the file by highlighting the message in the message list, then press Ctrl+F3 and examine the HTML coding. You would be looking for a sound file that begins as a hyperlink (i.e., begins with http:// and ends with the actual filename, either asf, wma, wmv, etc.) and you can copy that entire hyperlink to the clipboard. Open a new HTML formatted message and in the text insertion portion of the message, paste from the clipboard the hyperlink you copied. Now look at the bottom of the HTML message for tabs (Edit/Source/Preview) and if not shown click on the menu View/Source_Edit so that it is checked and then click the Preview tab. This will make the hyperlink "active" and you can now right click on it, selecting "Save Target As" and give a location to save the file to. It is really simple to do once you've done it a few times.
