If the text file has a .txt extension then TB! will display it via
tabbed separate window unless the .txt file is very large. I don't
know the size limit. It just displayed a 100KB text file for me in
its own tab. But I had tested a 6.8MB text file the other day and it
didn't display it in its own tabbed window.
If the text file has other extensions then you'll have to open it
with the associated application by double clicking on the
attachment.

TB! uses the systems associated application. Therefore, if the log
file is not being opened, it's because there's something wrong with
.log file associations on your system. Do you have .log files
associated with your text editor?
Also for text file extensions, you can disable the antivirus popup
warning by going into Options/Preferences/Warnings. Add .log
extension to the list of extensions that are opened without warning.
