Opening WMV video into an HTML e-mail
Hello,
I am trying to send a wmv file by e-mail, that will autoplay when the user opens it, using this code:
SRC=http://www.mypage.com/email/vid.wmv"
WIDTH="320"
HEIGHT="240"
AUTOSTART="1"
SHOWCONTROLS="0">
Right now it is getting blocked by activeX.
Anyone knows how to make it work? I am targeting outlook only.
Thanks

It is a matter of security:
It works if the receiver first lowers the security level of Outlook.
Try it yourself. Send it to yourself and from the Outlook menu go to
Tools->Options-> Security tab -> Security Zone: usually shows "Restricted Sites", change it to "Internet"
and open the message.

It os not a matter security, I have seen this happen a few times, streaming wmv videos running in outlook, in e-mail advertsing.
I have not find out how to do it yet.

By default, Outlook 2003 blocks external hyperlinks, images and media for security reasons unless the user exercises an explicit click action to enable the same.
For security reasons, you may not or can not programmatically change them.
