EMERGENCY! How can I view a file created with vbulletin WYSIWYG editor?
 

Hi, please help me, I have been searching for hours on how to open a file created by vbulletin and can't find a solution. Here is what happened.

I was replying to a message on a forum I am a member of, it was a very detailed message that I do not , or have the time to retype. In the middle of typing the message in the WYSIWYG editor (a text/html editor EXACTLY like the one I am typing this post in right now) my laptop battery went dead without any kind of alert/warning whatsoever!! I was at the very end of my message and just about to send it when this happened. My laptop shut off completely, and when I plugged it in and turned my computer back on , firefox asked me if I wanted to restore the previous browser session and I said yes, it then reopened the browser back to the same forum site and WYSIWYG editor, but the message i had typed was no longer in there! I did a search for my firefox cached files by typing "about:cache" without the quotes, and did a search within the cached files for the text file that contained the message I was typing and found it... (forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=XXXXX)

the XXXXX is the specific thread post I was replying to, I have that number if you need it.
the file also contains this information (not inside the file, but outside the file itself:

Client: HTTP
docshell:classified: 1
request-method:GET
response-head: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 2010 02:34:44 GMT
Server: LiteSpeed
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.13
Expires: 0
Cache-Control: private, post-check=0, pre-check=0, max-age=0
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
X-UA-Compatible: IE=7
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 18214
charset: ISO-8859-1

I opened the file with Open Office Writer and set the character set to Western Europe ISO-8859-1 (since the charset above shows this)

however, when I opened the file, It appeared to be encrypted or encoded with text and characters like this:

šṁ$G^~ŒNülïg;ˆžë#-###ṖN##–çĊ##Ẅ#ẃŴ

on the outside of the file (defore opening) the characters look like this: .

.&...H.T.j|=8..

since I need to open the file with the application that created it (WYSIWYG editor by vbulletin)
because a specific file type was not applied by the editor giving it the file type: application/octet-stream

I was looking for a vbulletin WYSIWYG stand alone editor or online editor because i dont have MySQL database
on my machine.'

I need to open this file , and have no way to get it to display the proper text can you please refer me to a WYSIWYG editor that is
compatible with vbulletin that can read this file please? or an online editor i can drop the file into?

I even went back to the forum itself and droped the actual file back into the text box WYSIWYG editor and all it did
was create the text url path where the file is being stored on my computer...

either that , if i send the file to you can you decode it and send it back to me?

any solution would help. Please

thank you very much!
