Saving Embedding Music from Email

What if you want to save music embedded in an email you receive? Here's what you do...

Open Outlook Express and highlight the message with the music, then on the Toolbar click: Tools, Options, Send.

1- Uncheck the box that says "Reply to messages using the format in which they were sent."
2- Under "Mail Sending Format" click the radio button marked "Plain Text". Then OK.

Now hit the Forward button. You will notice that the embedded music file has become an attachment as shown below.

Now you can click File, Save Attachments, and save it to your Music Directory.

Now, be sure to go back and change your Mail Setting Format back to HTML after you have saved the attachment.
