MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008downloads for sound on email
I just installed a new computer that contains the Microsoft Office package. The Outlook 2007 is a bit perplexing. There is not sound on emails dispite the "checked" box on the "receive sounds". Now what. How is an artist supposed to add sounds, music,etc. to the emails. Now I know how to add photos, clip-art etc., but would appreciate it if someone would tell me how to in the least receive sounds from incoming emails. Could it be possible that this expensive piece of software is full of flaws? get a mac > I just installed a new computer that contains the Microsoft Office package. > The Outlook 2007 is a bit perplexing.

That is no longer supported. I wouldn't call it a flaw, I'd call it bliss.

Yes, I would like to receive emails with embedded sounds. I call software a flaw if it doesn't offer the option to accept or refuse a feature. One would think that the software people would be able to do that . . . wouldn't you? They take the old stuff and move it around in a new package and call it new. So, why shouldn't I expect to be able to receive not only new features as well as the old? I'm not trying to be a smart . . ., but a clear answer would be nice. Two responses and they both were flip answers. > You mean you want to receive email with sounds embedded in the email that > start playing when you open the email?

Flip or not, he gave you the answer. It is no longer supported as it is a security risk. As for his style of responding, we are all volunteers and are free to express our individuality as we see fit. If you want a strictly professional answer, then Product Support Services from Microsoft at $45 a pop is the place to go.

I too would like to be able to embed sounds in outgoing email messages, and have the option available to me to accept or reject messages that have embedded sounds. What really puzzles me is the exact nature of the security risk. Is it something to do with Java or some other application? Does Microsoft ever intend to address this problem, and give users the option of embedding sound in email, and also to give all users the accept/reject option? I realize that security is a very important issue, but perhaps everyone is a little bit paranoid after 9/11? > I gave you the correct answer.

Not sure how you would mix this with 9/11 but essentially any form of automatic attachment execution is a high risk. In this case the fact that it is no longer supported is also because of the change of the HTML rendering engine Outlook uses (Word instead of IE). This offers more document features to Outlook which has been rated higher than a "gimmick" feature like adding sounds to emails. Don't expect it to be a feature that is high on the list to be reintroduced.
