I am trying to send a small video clip in an e-mail.

I want the video clip to be shown on the page with the text, not just attached to the e-mail.

I tried to edit the HTML source code of the e-mail (I am using Outlook Express 6), and the video does play but when I click the SEND button it tells me that the file can't be found and won't be sent with the e-mail.

Here is the code that I insert in the body of the code:
<img dynsrc=&quot;capture.wmv&quot; controls start=&quot;mouseover&quot;>

I tried dragging & dropping the video onto the page in the standard editing mode but that only attached the video file. Even with the video attached, when i click SEND it still warns me that the file can't be found.

I sent a test message to myself, with an image displayed inline with the text on the page. When i received the message I viewed the source, and found that the filename in the <img> tag is replaced by &quot;CID:&quot; followed by some numbers. Anyone know what this is about?

Any ideas how I can send the video message inline in my e-mail message?

Thx,

May
