1) just a quick note to point out that whether you know it or not, the
email program you are using is sending out copies of your mail in both
plain text and HTML formats. increasingly on the net, there are
filters being put in place that silently dump HTML-formatted
email. some mailing lists will not ever accept such posts. as long as
you do this, you are (1) wasting network bandwidth by sending messages
that are typically more than twice as long as they could be (2) making
it harder for people using traditional email readers to read them (3)
risking the chance that people will never see your mail because its
filtered before reaching their email inbox.

you can't make an audio CD that will do this on *any* operating system
no audio CD's can work that way.
you can make an application that will use an audio CD (or a data CD,
for that matter) to do this.
what you have seen are probably data CD's that contain both the
application and its data; you insert them, the OS mounts them, you
start the application, it uses the data from the CD.
its not hard to do, but i've never heard of such an app for linux.
