It's probably not RTF; more likely it's the encoded "attachment" being included in the body of the email rather than as an attachment. Some encoding schemes use separators (often a row of hyphens "----" and the words "start" and "end" to show where the actual data starts and ends). If you find that, or can make a good guess at where the file data starts and ends, you may be able to save the email as a text file, then remove the message parts (leaving just the data for the file), then use Stuffit Expander to restore the file. If it's BinHexed data (yes, other computer platforms do use BinHex, too), MacBinary might be able to decode it if Stuffit Expander won't. You might check with the people who send you such files and find out exactly what they're doing, and what encoding (if they know; many don't) their email application uses.
