The reason you don't get the sound as an attachment is because
the song is streamed from the person's web site by a script.  Ask
in the Private Stationery group how it's done.

Trying to save here,  I do the read in plain text and get pics as
attachment
but not the sounds ??  Any ideas ?

Thanks

You're welcome, Dirk. I'm glad I was able to help you.

Liz

I did it. I did it. I finally did it. With your help, I got it
right. And I
Love You So.

I got it right to make the background song an attachment. From
there I could
save it. It worked. Thank you very much, you're a star. To show
my
gratitude, I'll be sending you my email with the Elvis song to
your private
email address.

Please allow me to explain and give you some background first. I
had this
song "And I Love You So" sung by Elvis Presley. I lost it when my
computer
crashed some months ago. Fortunately I recovered an email where I
had this
song in the background of the email. Elvis talks in the beginning
and then
there's some silence and somebody says "one, two, three" before
the music
actually starts. I did not fancy that. I wanted to delete that
part. To do
that, I needed to "rip" the song off the email and save it in a
folder and
edit it with Microsoft's Sound Recorder.

Ok, how to do? I had in my mind that I should somehow move the
song from the
background of the email to an attachment. I'm sure I did it once,
but I
forgot exactly how. So, I asked Google. And I stumbled upon your
news group.
I was sure you computer Geeks would know the answer. You're the
A-Team.

Some letters from the news group downloaded and I already learnt
a big
thing. I had endless problems with the sound disappearing when I
add a MIDI
to an email. Your news group had the answer. "DnTwnBrown" and
"Blue Rose"
wrote: Set the volume to 0 in the Source. Ok. It works. It's as
simple as
that. I did not know that. It's easy ... if you know how.
Beautiful. Thank
you. Thank you very much.

Back to my problem, how to "rip" music off an email. Maxxi says
you get
software that record sound that is currently playing on your pc.
I tried
recording the song with Sound Recorder. No luck.

Liz, then you said I must send the email as Plain Text to myself
which will
give me attachments. But when I click Format, Plain Text then the
song
vanishes altogether. Both the song and the background picture
disappear
instantaneously. I had a feeling that getting the song as an
attachment was
the way to go. To do that I had to get the email in Plain Text.
But how to
get it in Plain Text without loosing the song?

Charles asked: "Does anyone know how to add to the stationery
code so that
it does not print the stationery (to save printer resources)"

Steve replied: "You can go to Tools | Options | Read and check to
read the
message in plain text and then open it and then print it that
way"

So, I went to Tools, Options, Read, and I checked "Read all
messages in
plain text". EUREKA! It worked. Like magic the Elvis song
appeared as an
attachment and I could save it and edit it with Sound Recorder. I
deleted
the first 9,15 seconds of the song thereby reducing the song from
3 minutes
49 seconds to 3:40 and hence from 503KB to 483KB. I like less
than 500KB. It
was already 18kbps and mono with surprisingly good sound quality,
and I did
nothing there.

I've found that by converting a WAVE (WAV) from stereo to mono,
that I get
better sound quality for less KB. Better value for money. I
lately prefer
MPEG Layer-3 24 kbps mono. Start, All Programs, Accessories,
Entertainment,
Sound Recorder. File, Open. File, Properties, Convert Now...,
MPEG Layer-3,
24kBits/s 24000Hz mono. OK. OK. File, Save As...    That is after
I
converted an MP3 song to WAVE using freeware called "EFFICIENT
WMA MP3
Converter". I find most songs for free in  http://beemp3.com/
although
beemp3 did not have this particular Elvis song. So, I just had to
"rip" it
off the email.

I love it when a plan gets together.

There's another thing that has been bugging me. I was wondering
if you could
help me here as well? I found the most astonishing animated clock
in
http://www.toolshell.com/index.php/clock/455/  This clock shows
the exact
correct time. I'm 100% sure that this clock was not designed here
in my
country, South Africa, yet it shows my local time. It's mind
boggling. I'd
love to surprise my friends with this one. Can one "embed" a
flash animation
into an email?
Add below code to your blog, MySpace, or website to get the
selected clock!

type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

Is there a way that I can add the "embed" code above to an email
to get the
selected clock "embedded" into an email?

Have a nice day
Dirk
