Because Outlook Express can send and receive any HTML-based object, you now have the ability to include virtually anything you might find on a Web page. You must be running Intenet Explorer 3.02 or higher on a PC to see this demonstration, and yes, the music you hear is coming from the message below. Just click Stop if you want to make it quit.

How does it work?...

By inserting a background image into your message, you can create your own stationery! (The final release of Internet Explorer 4.0 will ship with several samples.)

Find a sound or piece of music you like? Just drag it into the message and drop it!

You can send an entire Web page if you like, but if you decide you only want to send a link, just type it in and Outlook Express will automatically turn it into a hyperlink. You could also drag and drop a shortcut into the message.

Be sure to scroll down the message at right to see an ActiveX Control in action!
