The size is in the kb range, as it only lasts a minute, and I can make that into a wav file.
Looking forward to trying these instructions. Thanks.

Depending on which email program you use, you can do that, but if you want it to open when the email is opened, then you have to make that segment of your song a .wav file extension. Once you convert that, you may need to edit down to a size that is less than one MB. Since you are using Outlook from Office 2010 as your email client, do the following: Use MsWord as your editor to create an email message. In your office program go to Tools, Options, Mail tab; mail format. On that tab, set your message format to HTML, plain-text won't work. Hit Apply, and OK to Exit the options area. Now, create a new message. A dialog will pop up that Word is starting your email editor. There will be the typical email fields, (I don't know how well Jaws will read them -- I haven't tried this in my Office MsWord 2010 version.) You will need a Web Tools toolbar, which you can make visible by hitting View, Toolbars, and finding the Web Tools option. It will pop-up a small window with various icons. One of them is the "Sound" icon, you may need to simulate a mouseclick on it; it will then pop-up the background sound option. You can then hit the Browse button and browse to your St. Patrick's Day file. I said above that it needs to be in .wav format, but in looking around, it also supports .mid, .midi, .au, .rmi, .aif and .aiff. Many people recommend using .midi. After you press open on the sound file, you can then choose how many times you want that message sound to play -- from one to five times, or to infinite which means it will play until the message is closed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy Jones" <sonshine...@gmail.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2018 1:15 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Having a song play when an e-mail is opened? >I have seen this done, and would like to send a St. Patrick's Day greeting > that way. > > > > I have the tune in an mp3 format. > > > > Is there any way to do this? > > > > Thanks! > > > > Judy > > > > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
