Sorry, but there's no such thing as a "tab delimited file". There are
text files that contain tabs, some of them are intended to be used as
"delimited files", others are not.

.txt has never been an extension to indicate tab-delimited.

You may always specify the file type in the file open dialog, Text CSV,
which forces a text file to be handled by the spreadsheet application.
