Default Background sound

Using XP, IE6, & OE6.
I can send an Email using a WAV or MIDI as background but for some reason I
CANNOT set a MP3 as a "Background Sound". MP3 is an available selection in
the sound location window but it does not enter the MP3 into the Email (just
enters my C drive location).

Can anyone send an MP3 as background?
Can anyone shed some light on this?

OE only supports .wav and .mid files in the background. There are some tools
out there that converts MP3s to a .wav or .mid. Do a search.

Thanks Bruce.
I was running with this for a friend and got involved :-) It's hard to just
let something just drop.

You can insert scripting into your HTML message to point to a music file on the web (use Ctrl+F2 to see the scripting in this message) although many users disable scripting and only view messages in Plain Text.
