OK. Point made, but really, why does it need to be integrated into your
email? Why not just record an MP3 and attach that?

============Because I don't have an MP3 player? Or if I do, I don't know
it.
:) I don't even know what that is. You see, not all of us have lots of
technical tools and toys. 

I just see this as another excellent vector for spreading malware via
outlook and outlook express, but then again I'm kind of biased against
MS and their internet offerings.

============You think this is more dangerous than sending any other
attachment? Outlook by default doesn't even download attachments -- you
have to jump through a few hoops to download most attachments. 

As for bias -- for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would
want an iPhone -- emperor's news clothes and all... ;) They may be super
cool, but I'm still in the dark ages -- don't even use a cell phone. :)
