    Are there and addons or any other way to insert sound in an email before I send it? I might want to add a scream to a scary picture for instance
    I use Thunderbird ver 3.1.1
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Fortunately floyd the recipient decides what is acceptable in his/her emails not the sender.

    Well now I am confused.

    Strikes me that it would have to start by sending a sound in the message and then it might depend on the recipients settings where the sound played or not.

    I'll ask this another way.

    Suppose I want to send Floyd a message with sound built into it and he wants to hear the sound when he opens my message.

    What does each of us have to do providing such a thing is possible.

    My 2 cent question - Ray

    Hi Ray,

    You send the wave/MP3/Ogg whatever as an attachment but even if the recipients happy it's not going to achieve the effects floyd was looking for.

    In his situation the best bet is to send a link to a webpage but we all know the dangers of opening dodgy links don't we ;)

    The only way to effectively do this is to compose a message with a link to a Web page that contains embedded multimedia.

    Mail clients will not display embedded multimedia in messages by default, they will handle the multimedia as an attachment. This is for security purposes.
