I think the ability to associate and open the pps from the email client depends upon the email client. Some can be configured to associate an attachment with a particular program, others cannot. The safest & smartest way to use the pps attachment is to save it to disk, virus check it (if your particular OS requires that), and then play from there. Playing an attachment (pps or other) from within the email client directly subjects the client to all sorts of security issues. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
