Message Source, so I had to seek it out and open with gedit. Here's what
I found:

--Apple-Mail=_54DF1950-4BCD-4426-9730-DEB7448E058D
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=CurrentSpiritualCareGrandRoundsUnderwoodClevClinNov2013.pptx
Content-Type:
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation; x-unix-mode=0644; x-mac-type=50505458; x-mac-hide-extension=yes; x-mac-creator=50505433; name="CurrentSpiritualCare[...].pptx"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

If "vnd.

openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation" isn't known to your local MIME configuration, Evo is not going to know how to open it so it's offering gedit as default. You need to add that content type to your MIME setup and tell it what app can handle it (e.g. LibreOffice).
