It means exactly what it says: you do not have any applications
installed on your computer that are associated with, or are capable of
opening, the specific type of file you received. You'll need to ask the
sender what specific program created the attachment, and then obtain
(either by purchasing or downloading, as appropriate) either the same
application or one that's compatible, and install it.
