In other words it's at least Partly a garbled version of your message.

Charley,

What's your email program and your platform (Computer)? Is your Isp doing
this to all it's customers? What did you do with Micheal's chicken? and have
you stopped beeting your sugar?

 >O.K. This is for big brother (really) and all other recipients.  I don't
know how that file got on there, and I don't know whats in it.  If it
contains some secrets I shouldn't have divulged, please forgive me and
forget them.  It must have been a message from some stowaway on the net.  If
someone knows how I did it and what it contains, please let me know so I can
or cannot do it again.  It may be a process we all need to know!
