No, it's an Outlook Express email file.

What about my browser? Today, that's Firefox.

...displays the raw text in my browser. No attempt is made to download
because your server is sending it as:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=
with no charset. (I have no idea what a Farsi charset would be.)
You would have to reconfigure your web server to ... well, I don't
know if there is a content-type for .eml files, and I'm not sure I
want to look it up.

I think I would recommend that you either serve up these lessons as
well-formed regular HTML pages, or make .PDF files so people without
Outlook Express can utilize them. PDF has much more sup****t than a
proprietary email file.
Please don't use colored text on a black background for them; it is
very hard to read, especially for a "lesson."

It's not Outlook Express? :-)
