Inserting a sound

Hi folks,

A million years ago when I was using Outlook Express, I used to be able to
insert a sound (wav or MP3) that would play automagically when the recipient
opened their email.
Is there a way to accomplish this nowadays with WLM 2011? (build
15.4.3508.1109 & Windows7)

I've tried the obvious "Insert" tab, but of course it sends the file as an
attachment.

Thanks in advance!

The ability to insert sound (like stationery and backgrounds) is no longer
an available option in WLM 2011.

Some stationery afficianados overcome this by creating messages in a
capable html editor (or notepad) then convert that file to an eml file
type.

Thanks, Winston!
That's what I figured, but I wanted to be sure.
