Oddly enough, there isn't a text/plain portion to your message. I opened
it up  in vi  just to  make sure. All  that was  there was  an encrypted
message (maybe  not encrypted  because I  can read  it) that  began with
-----BEGIN PGP  MESSAGE-----. I was,  however, able to read  the message
just fine so I'm not sure how  this was encoded because it couldn't have
been encrypted unless you encrypted it  with your private key and anyone
with your public key can read it or something...
