A glance at the sender's email gives us esp.net. That on its own gives us a random default placeholder page.

However, adding a www gives us http://www.esp.net/ - which *could*, if this is an ARG, be in-game. I'm currently trawling around... most of the links lead to external websites, except the computers section. Haven't found anything in the source, though, so it may be a red herring.

http://www.esp.net/ Doesn't seem to be very ARG-ish, and there's no code in the email that i could see at a glance. So it's probably just spam.

Motoss: check the email information. Was it sent to just you, or was it a mailing list? Was it CC'd to anyone? That might help determine whether it's anything of use or not.

Sent an email to that address and it threw it back at me, so it's probably a faked return addres... mah, probably just spam then. Oh well.

WHY
WHY was that sent to anybody? Its not even selling anything!
Its not even trying to entice you to a web site!

I swear to god, there is a computer somewhere that has harbored so much spam that it has grown sentient and is now just trying to communicate with us.

WHY

There were no other recievers in my headers. Of course, there could be blind carbon copies, I suppose. But if it is spam, what is it spamming? The email means nothing as it is now.

EDIT: And that site DOES seem a little weird to me, just looking at it.

EDIT2: And they have a custom 404 page. Which is kind of atypical.
