Hi,

I am using a stationery, which has a sound file associated with it. The problem is that when I send a mail to someone else, the sound does not play. How can I ensure that the receiver also hears the sound?

Regards,
Tarun.

You really can't. Not all machines have sound cards. Not all mail readers interpret HTML code if this is what you are using for your stationary. This ability mostly relies on the mail program they are using. joegz

Thanks Joe!

The problem is that the receiver has a sound card, and he is using the same mail program (Outlook 2000) to read my mails, that I am using to send my mails.

The stationery is being sent in HTML format. I have looked at the sources of my Stationery, and the mail that the person received. I could make out a difference prominently.

Stationery HTML:

<body background=&quot;file:///C:/Program%20Files/Common%20Files/Microsoft%20Shared/Stationery/srk.jpg&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Beagle; color: #0F2368; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold&quot;>

<BGSOUND balance=0 loop=infinite
src=&quot;file:///C:/Program%20Files/Common%20Files/Microsoft%20Shared/Stationery/Retest.wav&quot; volume=0>

Sent Mail HTML:

<BODY background=cid:470294807@25022002-1349
style=&quot;COLOR: #0f2368; FONT-FAMILY: Beagle; FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;><BGSOUND
balance=0 loop=infinite src=&quot;file:///C:/Program%20Files/Common%20Files/Microsoft%20Shared/Stationery/Retest.wav&quot; volume=0>


As you can see, the body background has been converted to the CID value, but the BG sound still refers to a hard coded value. So I guess, its not able to find that sound file on the receiver's pc.


Any light on this??

Regards,
Tarun
