Periodically I get a message with some catchy music embedded. I'd like to
capture the music file and use it for other personal things. Examining the
source code hasn't been helpful. I read somewhere that changing the format
from RTF to TXT would display the music file as an attachment (to be saved),
but that's bogus.
Anyone know of a way to save it onto my machine?

Hi "Toyman",

Here is a much simpler method:

1. Open the message and click FILE / SAVE AS, choosing a suitable name for
the file and a location, e.g. "My Documents".
2. Go to that location and right click your saved file.
3. From the drop-down menu select "RENAME" and change the extension of the
file name to .UUE. (Ignore any warning of dire consequences that comes up.)
4.Double click on the resulting Zip File and follow the instructions to
UNZIP it.
5. That's it! A small window will appear with the various parts of the
original message as icons. Text, graphics, music. Take your
pick................... In your case simply double click on the music icon.

Good Luck.
Andy I.
