Unhappy ** Midi music won't play in Outlook Exp. **

Hi All:

For some reason midi music don't play anymore in Outlook Express.

Wav and Mp3's do play, but I need midi's to play also.

Outlook lets me pick the midi tune and send it without telling me that one of the objects was not found or won't work.

I hope someone can steer me in the right direction in solving this problem.

Thanks ahead of time,

Can you play midis that are already saved to the hard drive? Find one in Windows Explorer and double click it.

Hi glc:

Yes midi's play when I double click them, it opens Windows Media Player Ver. 11.

Also I checked the e-mail Message Source, and the midi file was included in the e-mail, see below ...
