Background music is a MIME function, so your e-mail editor, whatever it
is, will need to provide the option to add music (as a MIME part).
Outlook won't do that since its HTML editor is limited. I don't waste
space using Word with its bloated and hidden content, some of which is
Word-specific rather than just HTML, when sending e-mail, so go ask in
Word group if no one here tells you how to bloat your e-mails. I only
use Outlook Express for newsgroups but I recall that it would let you
add background music.

So you really want to piss off the recipients of your e-mails by
bloating them with superfluous music that they may not want to hear and
have to waste more bandwidth to download? Sounds like another wannabe
spammer trying to glitz up their e-mail. When you add binary content to
e-mails, they get converted to a text string. All e-mail gets sent as
plain-text and encoding is used to describe binary content. When you
add a binary to your e-mail, like music or images, it gets converted to
plain text string. This conversion bloats up; i.e., a 100K binary will
add MORE than 100K to your e-mail's size (anywhere from 30% to 50%).
That means you might send an 8MB binary via e-mail to a recipient whose
mailbox quota maxes out at 10MB per message but the e-mail gets rejected
because after the binary bloats up the e-mail's size is now maybe 12MB
and too big to go into their mailbox. Music binaries are often smaller
but depend on what filetype they are. For recipients still using
dial-up Internet access (which is still a huge portion of Internet
users), you will irritate them by bloating your e-mails which take
longer to download and occupy more disk space for just fluff.
