Hi, guys, A friend o mine received a e-mail with a video (wmv format) , that started playing in outlook, right after he opened the message. The video was uploaded on a server, I tried to do the same thimg but outlook would not play the video. Does anyone have any idea how it is done, I have been searching around but did not find anything. Thanks ---

Using “Media Player” with “Outlook” is a right thing. [http://www.streamalot.com/wm-embed.shtml](http://www.streamalot.com/wm-embed.shtml) Edit the HTML code of your letter and then send it. But I doubt it, that an e-mail program lets edit the source of your letter. 😃 ---

Thanks for the atention, This code in the page you linked, is pretty much what i am using. It works very well if you wanna see the video on a browser, but I need it to autoplay in outlook, and the activeX keeps getting blocked I know it is possible to do it, I am just not sure how.
