Sounds like your WordPad program is saving files into .MIME format instead of what you'd prefer, .txt. This can happen from time to time if another program uses WordPad to do some work, usually email clients, if you use one. To change this problem, however, it is simple. Open WordPad, you can even open the document in question, and click File-Save as. Under the file name, it will say Save as type: and will display a default format (could be MIME or RTF (rich text format). Just change the extension to Text Document (.txt) and save. The program should default back to its original save format and it shouldn't happen again. If it does, just repeat these steps.

I have "A" disks with information on them typed in Microsoft Word in the mid-90's. I believe they were saved in notepad, but when I open them, it looks like "foreign language". There doesn't seem to be any indication they are document or text files.
