So I have received my first Enigma encrypted message and dutifully decrypted it (and triple checked, but who knows maybe I made an error) and it works out to be complete gibberish.

The thing that is odd about it is: there is an underscore character immedately before the "indicator group," so I thought maybe that was somehow indicating the message got garbled by the algorithm?

Here is a screen cap of it
