It's the *output* of script, though it could have been mangled during email tranmission. If the log hasn't been mangled, then simply "cat"ing it on a compatible terminal should leave the terminal in some sort of state resembling what the OP saw on their terminal while recording the session. However, there's a non-zero security risk in doing this (some terminal emulators may execute commands when given certain escape sequences), so I would not advise it.
