You've not stated which e-mail client you're using. I'll assume that it's Outlook Express:
To send a sound file as an attachment (so that the recipient has to play the file by double-clicking on the attachment):
Go to Insert > File Attachment. Navigate to the location of the file and double-click on it.
To send the file so that it plays when the mail is opened:
Go to Format > Background > Sound. Click 'Browse'. Navigate to the location of the file. Double-click on it. Set the required repeat settings. Click 'OK'.
The file should definitely be playable if it's sent as an attachment, irrespective of the file format, as long as the recipient's PC has a media player which recognises that type of file.
The same would probably apply to a file sent as a background but, to be sure that it would play, you might want to convert it to wav format first. (However, wav files are usually much bigger than their MP3 equivalents. It might be best to experiment by sending an e-mail, with the MP3 as a background, to your own e-mail address).

Now you've got me confused!
If there's an e-mail client (i.e. a program) called 'Sky', I've never heard of it, so I can't help.
However, if you mean that your ISP is Sky, then I would have expected that you'd be using Outlook Express (or something similar) anyway. If you're accessing your mail via the web (i.e. through a browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), you're definitely doing things the hard way. (Web-based e-mail services are handy if you access your mail from lots of different computers but they're nowhere near as flexible as using something like Outlook Express or Thunderbird).
If you're using web-based mail, you should be able to add an attachment in a similar way to that described above. However, I doubt that you can add sound which plays when the mail is opened. (I'm also not sure that the sound would play if the recipient wasn't using a client such as Outlook Express or Thunderbird).
If you're with Sky and you're not already using Outlook Express, I suggest you do so. The required information is here:
