Apparently the tag is something like:
<EMBED SRC=your_file.mp3 AUTOSTART=true HIDDEN=true LOOP=1>
See:

But I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't always work.  With that 
recent really nasty security flaw in OE with wmv and mp3 files, 
eventually Microsoft is going to lock down some of those things that 
just automatically play.  Or at least they should.  Perhaps they have 
already:

But I agree with the others.  I've gone to great lengths to shut off any 
of that stuff that happens automatically without me starting it first. 
It would really piss me off if some email started singing to me just by 
opening it.
