Since you don't know who it is from, you don't need to download the file. I'd bet it is a virus/trojan. If it actually is from someone you know, they will ask you about it if it is important. I'd just delete it.

I don't read hex, but I know that JPG files will look like that too. If someone sent you a JPG attachment larger than the size allowed by your mail server, it will arbitratily break the image into pieces which look like the body of the toip of this message.

Taking a look at the headers part, this does not appear to be the case. I can see that this message did travel through Taiwan (TW) along the way to get to you and was also sent to several other Taiwan addresses.

I would guess that you do not want to open this attachment as it is always safer not to open attachments from unknown places, especially when the attachment was unrequested. The message ID also looks suspicious....

I would delete it.
