Seems somebody chose mail software from a vendor that didn't read the
warning in RFC1341, section 7.4:

The "application" Content-Type is to be used for data  which
do  not fit in any of the other categories, and particularly
for data to be processed by mail-based uses  of  application
programs.  This is information which must be processed by an
application before it is  viewable  or  usable  to  a  user.
Expected  uses  for  Content-Type  application include mail-
based  file  transfer,  spreadsheets,  data  for  mail-based
schedulingsystems,andlanguagesfor   "active"
(computational) email.  (The latter, in particular, can pose
securityproblems   which   should   be   understood   by
implementors, and are considered in detail in the discussion
of the application/PostScript content-type.)

Happens all the time.  Complain to your vendor.

Ooops, I already opened it. I wonder what is going to happen to my machine. 
Is machine going to send out the similar email to other people?
