Re: Music

I agree with Bryan.  I got one the other day that opened up, and I wasn't
expecting noise, and it nearly scared me to death.  Personlly I like html
email,
but stuff like that makes me want to revert back to text.  It was one of
those companies, that advertises having your website talk to you. Sort of a
guided tour by voice.  I was not happy that this thing just started talking
to me and couldn't hit the delete key fast enough.  I have received music
too, but usually only short bursts, which stopped after the initial play.
Only if you click on the email again, it will repeat.

I like to go through my email while on the phone.  Nothing worse than to
open an email and having this noise hit you, and you are scampering for the
volumn button.  Definately put an OFF button on something if you plan it
opening in an email automatically.

Think of this as a users point of view!!!!
