Over-large e-mail is indeed the problem with using a .wav file.
However, my MP3 player records .wav at only 8,000 kHz so
that helps. It gives me 300 KBytes for a minute and is very
acceptable voice.

So I'll talk fast. It's working. One risk: recipient heart attack upon
getting my voice unexpectedly.
