Stream MP3 files directly from email (not website page)

How can I stream MP3 audio files directly from an link embedded in an html email message? The MP3 file will be uploaded on my website. But I do *not* want the email receipient to first have to go to the website (no point in that). Rather, as soon as he/she clicks on the email hyperlink, this would immediately quickly start streaming (not slowllllyy downloading) the audio file so he can hear it. (I assume using whatever his default MP3 player would be).

Thanks for your help.

Well, yea, that kind of is the point. The MP3 is on your site.

I'm not aware of any formal sound and/or flash support within most email
applications, so you pretty much have to link to your site and have them
listen to the file there.
