Didn't they tried the application abc2internetcafe.exe ? :)

More seriously there is a java application that can display abc :
http://www.execpc.com/~rdmiller/Java/abc.html

It could works well from an internet cafe (it does not support
more than 1 voice, and is still limited, but it can help). Copy
and paste into this page
http://www.execpc.com/~rdmiller/Java/abc.html your tunes and
you'll be able to see them (but not  hear them)

I've made a copy of the jar-file on my webpage :
http://anamnese.online.fr/abc/abc.jar
(I guess one can get it the same way at
http://www.execpc.com/~rdmiller/Java/abc.jar , but i'm not sure of
the adress).

If you download this single file on a computer (at work for
example), you don't need to "install" any program.  Just by
opening it with winzip and extracting the files in a directory of
your choice, you will be able later to display abc tunes received
by email.


Note :
>Hotmail doesn't

I really doubt it : most webmails show attached images if we click
on them (on their links).
