I don't have PowerPoint installed, so I can't check, but it used to have a
feature -- maybe called "pack and go" or something like that, that would
allow you to save the slideshow as a self-running thing. It might have been
for burning to CDs so it would autorun, though, so maybe not useful for
emailed versions. If that's not there any more, or I'm thinking of the wrong
product, the recipient would have to have the PowerPoint viewer (free
download from MS).

Both, the Pack 'n' Go Wizard (Package for CD on 2003), and the
PowerPoint viewer will work for systems without PowerPoint.

My memory's better than I thought. I remembered seeing something like that
at an Office launch or something. It sounded like a good idea even though I
rarely use PowerPoint.
