If you were using a email client other than Outlook, I would say that someone is sending you a message using RTF. Your email reader doesn't understand them.
The complaint is usually voiced in the other direction -- that recipients are getting a Winmail.DAT file. Winmail.dat files are worthless.
If they are unknown/unsolicited files, I would avoid trying to opening them.
