Thanks, Bruce
I do have Power Point 2003 on my system, but it does not recognize the
file
apparently. I tried changing the extension from ".email" to ".pps" wth
the
same results. It may be might eneptness. Do I need to download and
install
the Power Point viewer anyway? I did receive a file once before, a couple
of
years ago, that I managed to open, but this one is not cooperating. It is
not really that important, just kind of like a bur under my blanket.

I think we've missed the point. Save the message and change the extension to
..eml and clicking on it should open it in OE. It should then look like any
other email with a .pps attachment.

Alternatively you can right click it with the original .email extension and
when the open with / choose program box pops up choose MSIMN.EXE and check
the "Always open with" box.... in future OE will then open them normally.
You can search for MSIMN.EXE to find out where it lives.
