Your attachment came as a weird winmail.dat file - something  Outlook 
and the Microsoft Exchange Client sometimes does.  There is a Linux tool 
to "unzip" the file called tnef, which I installed on Ubuntu with a 
simple "apt-get install tnef"

Anyway, the problem is simply that your XML file has this little HTTP 
header at the start:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 21:23:08 GMT
Server: Nde
Content-Type: application/xml
Connection: close

If you edit the file to remove this, the BioPython can read the file fine.

Looking over my old email, Michiel de Hoon checked in a fix from 
Alexander Morgan for this in March.  You need to update this file:

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Bio/Blast/NCBIWWW.py

Latest code is available here:

http://cvs.biopython.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/biopython/Bio/Blast/NCBIWWW.py?cvsroot=biopython

It also gets rid of this annoying message:

UserWarning: qblast works only with blastn and blastp for now.
