Default .ps1 attachment preview with text previewer

*.ps1 extension is used for powershell scripts. It can be viewed in notepad
and should preview if associated with the text previewer.

| How can I get .ps1 files to preview with the built-in text preview

It is a PostScript file, not a graphic, and non-native to Outlook.

You will have to save it and view it with PostScript file viewer.
