Lanman, did you try looking at KDE, Components, File Associations and seeing
what is listed there for Text, HTML?
Another old trick I use sometimes:
Right click, create a blank HTML file. Name it whatever you want, doesn't
matter.
Now, right click on that file, and pick Edit File Types. From that list, put
whatever you want at the top - I usually delete the rest of the list if I
think that I'm not going to be using any other app with this type of file.
Under Embedding, I usually pick Show File In Separate Viewer as well.
(this really brings up basically the same screen/settings, just from different
approaches)
HTHS! :-)
