Description Paolo Benvenuto 2009-03-09 12:58:49 UTC 
I have a mail with a .pps attacchment. My gnome system opens pps files by default with openoffice.org

However, evolution doesn't know the default application which it must open the pps file with.

I refer to the little attachments pane at the top of the message preview. I open that little pane clicking on the ">", and after that I see the file icon with the name below it. Double clicking on the icon no application is run. I must  right click and select the application I want to open the file with.
