Can't read attachments forwarded from aol

I have a friend who uses Hotmail to receive and read email from an AOL
user. He has no trouble opening and reading the attachments on Hotmail.
He forwards the email to me and the attachments show up as "message.txt"
and when I review the message source it shows up as 8 bit code. I have
no trouble reading all other email attachments he forwards. I have no
trouble reading any other emails, just the ones forwarded from one
source.

What's happening and how can I fix this.
