Can sound be put in these messages?

[Tom Zurinskas]

This is a test of springdoo.com.  I'll read the text below.  Click on this
link to hear it, or select it and put it in your address line and hit enter
to hear it  It's been tried and works.  Let us know if it doesn't from the
ADS group forum.

This is a test of springdoo.com to enable voice files to be used on the
ADS. I am actually reading the text I've written that you should be able
to read in this message as well. To send a message here as well, go to
springdoo.com and sign up. Then compose the message but don't send it to
ADS, send it to yourself. You will receive it with a site address for
your message. Copy that site address and put it in another ADS message
along with text. That's it for putting voice in our messages.
