The files I've found are readable (online version of README.1st)... 
   http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/README.1st
and
  http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/README.v71
are you using Windows, and the files aren't not using windows CR/LF pairs?

See README.v71 for both a list of what the files are, and how to install 
(at least get you started :-)

PS. You might want to consider adding a single line with '-- ' in front of 
your signature, since that would allow some mail software to recognize it 
as a signature and automatically remove it in replies.
