How to Embed Flash Movies Into Email
Embedding flash movies into email requires copying and pasting a simple code around the video you want to embed. It is more convenient for the person receiving the email to watch the video directly from the Inbox folder than to have to go watch it on the actual site where the video is hosted.

This does not work as described. You have to be editing the HTML behind your email... not what you are actually typing/seeing normally. Also, in these modern times, most emailers/browsers, etc will come up with a diagnostic about Active-X permissions. Basically, 99%+ of people will have problems at the receiving end. Its not 1999 anymore...
