Which file? There's none attached. Can you please be more
precise for those who don't follow M$ crap (but see below)?

>From google results (which are pretty indecisive), it seems
that PowerPoint should be able to send mails? Where is
the advisory/mentioning of this? Why do you think that OOo
does this? (No, playing the presentation and quitting, which is
the point of pps doesn't make it do that).

Then you didn't try (or look) hard enough. pps is just a ppt + autoplay.
(So as said in 548959 a mv just does it)
