in reply to outlook express mail alert.

Outlook Express is also not OLE. So I dont know how to get at the Dbx files if the Mail::Transport::Dbx c library will not make! Has anyone got a solution? Astro

    Outlook Express notifies when you get email if you select the proper option. Do this; To receive audio notification of new messages Go to the Outlook Express screen. On the Tools menu, click Options. On the General tab, select the Play sound when new messages arrive check box.
      Hi.

      That was a very clever idea. Unfortunately, the Windows machine I'm currently using only has Outlook Express 6.0 installed and will not allow one to play custom sound files. It also doesn't permit programmers to use the benefits of OLE for such things as automation, etc.

      Thanks again for the clever idea / source of .wav file creation.
