A test case: echo "From Dostoevsky:" > test1.txt echo "In Dostoevsky:" > test2.txt Nautilus correctly opens test2.txt but not test1.txt. I'm using amd64 Feisty with LANG=en-US.UTF-8." That's because the file starting by "From " is detected as application/mbox and there is no editor associated to it. Maybe it would make sense to sub-class the type with text/plain so text editor would be happy to open it?
