I have emails with GPX files attached but can't read files , just get loads of numbers , not the maps.

You need to install an application which can read GPX files and display them as a map. Which application to install is entirely up to you. Google is your friend. This has got nothing to do with Thunderbird.

Those are files typically used by GPS units. See if this article helps. https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/45948-what-programs-can-open-gpx-files/
