I prefer HTML files to show up as plain text in the read window, rather than
being forced to launch them as an attachment (of course, you can do that
too if there's a confusing amount of HTML tags). The reason? HTML
datatype seems pretty unstable, as does any other datatype based on
hypertext.datatype, which allows browsing around files. I don't think it
deallocates memory properly.
