Eudora use to have a feature called Pure Voice or Pure something, you 
could record a message and it would send in the email. It was a 
plug-n-play thing which I'm not certain if it is still available. One 
could always record a little blip with GoldWav or similar and just attach 
it I suppose. Voice files take lots of band width so probably wouldn't be 
real feasible. It can get  time consuming to download and read text mail 
now without the extra band width. Folks on dial up would probably give up 
email if it came to that because the download time is super super slow 
compared to a broadband connection.

There used to be a couple of email voice programs that allowed you to 
record
an email to someone as an attachment so your email was voice instead of
typed.  Has anyone heard of such programs recently?  I really honestly
believed all email would eventually go voice and or video.  With most
internet providers offering, as with my carrier, 250 megs of email 
storage,
and much more for extra money each month, I really thought this would have
become very common by now.  I understand that the voice chat rooms are 
more
popular but I would think private emails, or mailing lists like this, 
could
easily handle one or two minute e voice mail recordings unless a mailing
list became way too large with subscribers.
