Streaming Rich Media E-mail

Hi,

I've been reading a lot lately about the benefts and
potential of rich media email. We've experimented with
e-mail shots with Flash attachments but in order to make
it viewable to all recipients you have to export from
Flash as an .exe and as you are all probably aware many
people would be reluctant to run an executable from an
unknown sender.

So ...what I hope somebody here will be able to help me
with is making the Flash stream, that is, when you open
your email it is already playing so recipients don't
have to worry about running files, it will just be
embedded in an HTML email. So what I really need to
know is if there is a mass mailing application out there
that can handle embedded rich media and quickly and
effortlessly mail to a mailing list. We want to do this
completely in-house, we have the Flash development
capability but just can't figure out the delivery part
of it. Anybody any ideas/experience with this ?

Thanks,

Keith Lacy
