The file *does* start with an hex <1B> just preceding the percent sign -
either the font used
inb your mail/news client must show it somehow or the client itself
should provide
a transcription.
The PS file generated by hpgltops (the version of CUPS 1.1.19 is what I
have) works well
ans seems reasonable, but the filter produces some debug messages:

which just seems to show up that many HPGL files, just as this one,
start up with what
a perfectionist like me would consider garbage (the collapsed page
definitions and the
repeated page diemensions and coordinatge transformations, all the
same).

And here is the PS file:
