How to add Background Sound in Outlook Express?

Add Background Sound in Outlook Express:

If you would like to send an email with background music that will automatically play when opened, here's how:

1. Create a new email message.

2. Ensure that it is in HTML format by going to Format on the toolbar and selecting Rich Text (HTML).

3. Then select Format>> Background>> Sound

4. Use the Browse button to select the sound file you want to play in the background.

5. Specify whether you want the sound file to be played continuously or a certain number of times.

6. Click OK.

Note 1: You cannot use an MP3 or WMA file as the background sound for an e-mail message in Outlook Express

The following table lists the file formats that Outlook Express supports for background sound.

Audio files	.wav, .snd, .au, .aif, .aifc, .aiff
MIDI files	.mid, .rmi, .midi
Real Media files	.ra, .rm, .ram, .rmm

Note 2: Be sure that the file size is not too large. Large files can take a great deal of time to download which can be very annoying to the recipient.
