    Virtually impossible. Looks like they dragged and dropped the attachment. You'll have to get them to re-send it and attach the attachment correctly.

    Re: unscrambling a corrupt emal

    Was there an attachment with the email the opened that way, or is that what you got in the text of the email?

    If there was an attachment that opened that way you could try renaming the attachment to .pdf or .jpg until it opens correctly, otherwise Singh400's solution would be the easiest to try.
