Funny - it looks like outlook doesn't understand its own types.

I can't really say what is the real type of the file, but its filename 
is "SOME HEBREW TEXT.msg", which - as I've mentioned earlier - should 
be some sort of rfc822 encoded content. From closer inspection of 
Outlook (not the Outlook Express), it looks like it saves .msg files on 
the disk in some sort of "wide char" version of rfc822, and transcodes 
them to 7 bit when they are attached to emails.

Regarding Amos's idea - under some configurations of Outlook (and some 
rarer configurations of Outlook Express - most notably enabling "Rich 
Text" as the sending format), it will send out messages with the type 
application/ms-tnef which is basically some binary but simple 
rfc822-like container which always carries an RTF encoded body and can 
optionally carry additional attachments. KMail can understand it using 
its ktnef viewer, or you can use some command line utility as above to 
unpack it.
