Please verify that the ppt(x) contents are extracted properly. Run pilertest on an email containing a ppt or pptx file.

Instead of extracting ppt contents it reads only "Office Theme *"

Thanks. The problem is that the catppt utility has problems with your ppt file. I tested it with a few of my ppt files, and even a ppt from a spammer, and catppt worked properly.

I found a new utility to extract text from ppt files (ppthtml), and it seems that iw supports more ppt files even those that catppt cannot handle, however even ppthtml couldn't handle the file 1.ppt you sent me. Later I opened and saved with libreoffice in the same ppt format, and then ppthtml could extract the test.

So, I'll replace catppt with ppthtml for better ppt support, but it may not solve your problems with ppt files. Sorry.
