POP retrieval only shows encrypted message

I am trying to retreive email with telnet using POP and the message always comes across encrypted.

This is how I access the emails:

telnet server.domain.com 110
USER username
PASS password
LIST (this gets me a list of emails with a number)
RETR 1 (the number is the message number from the LIST command)

Then the message shows up like this:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
MIME-Version: 1.0
