Computer/tech question-Music w/email

Is there any way to send an email and have it where a song AUTOMATICALLY starts playing when the person opens the email. I'm not talking about a separate attachment where the recipient has to click on the pic (or other attachment).

Thanks

Nope.

Executable files that are in e-mail are how viruses are rapidly spread.

Pretty much EVERY email client blocks anything like that from happening for years now.

There's no way to make it happen for very good reasons.

Thanks Jeff!! I figured that would be the case but never hurts to ask. I'll just have to attach it.

Thanks again for the quick informative reply.

There is no way you can do that with standard legitimate email client.........but where there is a will there is a way. You can find such things.....though it might take 2 emails - the first to plant something in their client......however even in those cases the virus s/w, if it is set to scan email, might still block it.
