Here's the deal: The text you sent is part of the coding (HyperText Markup
Language or HTML) that lets browsers interpret the format of web pages, and
sometimes, email. Sometimes your email program is set so in will not "interpret"
and displays the HTML as words instead of the colors, font etc that the code
stands for. This also sometimes happens when stuff gets forwarded, and the
codes are imbedded - the browser doesn't know how to handle it. In most
cases, you aren't missing much, just fishing through the gibberish for the
message.
But, if fishing through the junk is onerous, or you want to clean something
up before you pass it on, here is a link to a free download called "Email
Stripper" that allows you to quickly remove all the formatting.

Hope this helps. I've been using the program for years.

These attachments are unreadable to me. I've copied and pasted below
what I see when I open them. Any suggestions?
