You are likely using an email client other than Outlook/Outlook Express. We
use Eudora and see it a lot. Here is Eudora's answer:

The message is probably from someone using Outlook (not Outlook Express).
Outlook Express does not understand Outlook's RTF format. Ask the Outlook
user to please use Plain Text, especially when sending attachments.
