I was wondering if it's possible to have Thunderbird automatically play sounds or music that are attached to EMAILS. I know in Outlook if you click on a message that has sound attached to it, it will automatically play without having to double click the attachment and open the sound. If this can be done in Thunderbird how do I do it?

Thanks for your help.TB doesn't have ability to play sounds.However This Extension will add media player controls to TBird and allow you to play those attachments while still checking your mail...

FoxyTunesGood point.Okay. Thanks for the info.Looks like you've already got a solution, but for what it is worth, if anyone else happens along reading this thread:

I just happened to be doing something in Thunderbird a few minutes ago, and saw something that I'd forgotten all about. It reminded me of this thread.

I have an add on named Launchy installed.
Description and download are here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/81
http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy.html

It auto-magically picked up on Winamp here, and has it on the pick list when right clicking an item in an email. This is not quite what the op asked for, but I think it is very close.
If not Winamp, then Windows Media Player is mentioned in the description
on the above page links.

The same add-on can be installed in T-Bird, Firefox, and NVU.

I'm always looking for more suggestions whenever I can get them. Thank you WillyW for continuing the search to help me. I really think you hit the nail on the head for this one. I'll have to give your suggestion a try. This sounds EXACTLY like what I'm looking for. I'll give it a try over the weekend and let you know.
Thanks to everyone that replied!That worked pretty good. I wish Thunderbird would play sound automatically, but this works good too. Thanks!Quote from: patio on January 16, 2008, 05:34:46 PM
