I can not read a certain email I keep receiving

[Guest]

I keep on receiving a certain email in my MSN8 Mail Inbox that I think is important. Everytime I open this email it just shows jibberish (just a bunch of letters and numbers) and there are no attachments or anything else included in this email. My computer does not detect it as a virus. It may be coming from overseas (China), but I am not sure. I have been awaiting an email from China for several months and I have a feeling that this is it. Maybe they typed it in Chinese script and this is how I am receiving it. I have emailed them back telling them that their email is in jibberish and to type it in English, but I keep on getting the same kind of email back. Is there a program that may be able to decipher this jibberish? Is the jibberish maybe some kind of programming that is supposed to be a webpage? Here is an example of part of the jibberish "uspfzdteydegamozb7zhbs48ng2dmngwi3rawosxnuye7l7c048vtqmpvcotjavs3wvducup". I am not sure if MSN8 has it's own Help and support or if it is part of the Windows XP group - I thought I would try.

I would try to forward the e-mail to a different e-mail account to see if it would be caught as a particular language. I do know that Microsoft Outlook Express does catch e-mail sent in different languages and then asks you to download a translation program for it. I am also wondering if the sender just has a "security" setting on his e-mails that automatically encodes the message and it needs to be decoded at your end. You'll have to see if MSN8 has the capability for this. Good luck!

If you don't recognize the sender, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a
virus.
