    Unreadable e-mail attachments
    « on: January 19, 2008, 08:27:50 PM »

    Many times I receive e-mail attach. that are not able to be read.
    This is an example of one of the attachments.




    Can someone tell me if the fault is with me or the sender?

      That's just extra header information.  Is there something from the email you're sure you are missing, or is this just extra junk?

        There are 6 additional pages of this kind of stuff, but in the last page the e-mail does seem like a joke message.

        Question I'm concerned about is "Why am I receiving all this extra data?"

        It means the sender does not know how to properly forward an e-mail without all the useless header info...
