Thanks.
This line is in my /etc/mime.types file: 
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation pptx

Is that what's needed? If so the problem is something else. It doesn't
seem to be that Evolution does not know how to open it, It's rather that
Evo is not seeing the attachment for what it is but rather at
'attachment.dat'.
