When you receive a PPS file here it still shows as an
attachment and doesn't run, so I presume that one of the
caveats on your list applies although I can't think which
one, we have PowerPoint installed. Thanks for your reply
though
That'd be due to your email client. It's being smart.
Your computer wouldn't last a week if the email program automatically ran
anything that was attached to an email - that's how viruses travel. Usually
they depend on people unthinkingly running attachments; just think how more
efficient the transmission mechanism would be if our email programs autoran
all the attachments for them. ;-)
All kidding aside, it's a good thing that stuff doesn't autorun; expecting
it to autorun on somebody else's computer is too much to ask.
About the best you can hope for is to attach it, explain in the body of the
message what it is and why the recipient should run it, and hope that they
do.
