Adding a Sound File to OE..

1. Open OutLook Express.
2. Open a New E-Mail.
   Click on Format and make sure that Rich Text (HTML) is selected
3. Again click Format/Background/Sound.
4. From there "Browse" to where the Sound File (i.e. .au,.wav,.MIDI etc ) is located.
   (* Make sure the file is not TOO BIG, you won't impress you friends with a five minute download!).
5. Then select the Number of Times you want it to play, or if you want it to play "Continuously" .
   * Note "Continuously" can be as annoying as a big download time!

Adding color to my OE E-Mails.

Foreword: Those of you that are really clever may have noticed (if you read the above piece) that the color was easy to find! But either way here goes...

1. Open OutLook Express.
2. Open a New E-Mail.
   Click on Format and make sure that Rich Text (HTML) is selected
3. Click Format/Background/Color. From there just pick the color you want to use!
   * Here, just make sure you don't pick a color that will clash with your font, OR change your font color after this step.

   

   * This is a good place to notice the red check mark next to the RICH Text HTML option.

4. Changing your font color to go well with your back ground color is easy!

   Select the drop down menu shown here and pick you color.

   

   Finally to change your font to match your mood, you click the FONT drop-down menu.
