It is Mac specific information (usually useful for attached files only, but
most newsreaders post it with everything for some reason) about the file
type and application that created it. The numbers are hexadecimal ASCII
codes (actually they are MacRoman character codes, not differences in the
lower 128 chars are minimal). If you translate it back you get: type =
"TEXT" = a plain text file, and creator = "MOSS" = Netscape Navigator.
