They often utilize complex encoding (such as Quoted-Printable or PDU hex strings) which renders the message body unreadable when opened in standard text editors like Notepad. Furthermore, because the format is proprietary to obsolete synchronization suites, viewing these files on modern Android or iOS smartphones is virtually impossible without specialized tools.
