Is it possible to e-mail a Powerpoint presentation and have the recipient
have the attachment open as a slide show if the recipient does not have
Powerpoint or Viewer on their computer?

No. PPT/PPS files require PowerPoint or the PPT Viewer to play them.

You'd have to convert it to a different format, and then it wouldn't be a
PPT presentation, it would be "another format" presentation -- Flash, java,
HTML, images, etc. Or you could create an EXE that bundles the Viewer and
the presentation. But that might be 1) too big to email and 2) caught in
email filters and not get through to the recipient.
