It's an "e-mail" file as exported by Outlook Express on a PC. It's a stupid way of doing it. Just open it in a text editor and you'll see the message including all its headers.

It's a stupid way of sending it, because it does not follow the standard that every other email client in the world uses - but then Microsoft following standards would be like an assassin asking his mark if he wanted to be killed.

"Just code"? There should be headers and content. Of course, if it's a multipart MIME with an attachment, you might have fun trying to decode that. And it's a stupid way of sending it because it's nonstandard, and as you just discovered it makes life difficult for people not using Outlook.

I'm a bit of a newbie. I've heard that term "MIME" What is mime?
Here is a snippet of the thing:
content-class: urn:content-classes:message
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related;
type="multipart/alternative";
boundary="----_=_NextPart_002_01C35A91.B7DE1AD0"
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.0.6375.0
Subject:
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 10:07:19 -0400
X-MS-Has-Attach: yes
X-MS-TNEF-Correlator:
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
------_=_NextPart_002_01C35A91.B7DE1AD0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----_=_NextPart_003_01C35A91.B7DE1AD0"
------_=_NextPart_003_01C35A91.B7DE1AD0
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
