o.uk...
To save too much more collective brain racking, with everyone
trying to think of ever more exotic programs to open it with, I
can confirm that the document is knackered beyond recovery. Its
only 162 bytes in length, and most of those are nulls!
Maybe its a link to the real file somewhere on his computer?
It wouldn't be the first time someone has mailed a shortcut
although i think they are usually more readable.
Links tend to include path references and file names etc. This does
not.
It might if its in unicode from say a Chinese version of windows.
They have two bytes per character so looking at one is gibberish.
The e-mail only came from Reading :-)
Well the BNP haven't banned Chinese from Reading yet..
Give them time...
