First you should send emails using plain text, and not HTML. HTML-Email
is not standard.

and mplayer can do it:

mplayer file1.avi file2.avi file3.avi file{4,5,6,7,8,9}.avi

or even:
mplayer *.avi

you can't 'exclude' names of a * match in bash, but you can with zsh
i've heard you could do it like:   *~nametoban

or you even can:

for i in `seq 2 10`; do mplayer file$i.avi ; done

or

ls *.avi |xargs mplayer     (but this one is really stupid to use like
that)

man bash
man xargs
man mplayer


or write your own program that will pick your 10 files random, and exec
mplayer to play them
