Don't. Your friend MUST save the file and scan it with his AV program before
opening. Most computer viruses are transmitted by people opening attachments
from people they know....

You want to save it as a PowerPoint Show (*.pps) file. You can either
change the three letter extension from .ppt to .pps (if your computer is
set to see the extenstion for known file types), or you can open it in
PowerPoint and choose Save As from the File menu. In the list of save as
types, scroll down until you see PowerPoint Show (*.pps) and choose that.

And would YOU want to receive an email where something (doesn't matter what
it is) opens AUTOMATICALLY?

The FAQ Shawn mentions above mostly discourages people for just the reasons
you've mentioned (and others). And points out that their chances of actually
having it work are, nowadays, so small as to be negligible.
