PowerPoint Viewer w/ Windows Mail

I have a client that has downloaded and installed PowerPoint Viewer in Vista
Business edition, sp1. The file type association for .pps files is fine in
Windows and the user can double click on a PowerPoint presentation and it
views just fine.

However, from within Windows Mail, the association does not work. If the
user tries to open a .pps attachment, it tells him that there is no program
associated with this file type.

Anyone know why?????
