They all have tabs, but they are all .txt files. Only the last
extension counts. Create a file called test.doc, extend the name to
word.doc.txt, and TB will assume it is a text file.

What I am saying is that TB seems to have an internal viewer for .tyxt
files, but not for .log or .lst files. That is why you get a tab on a
.txt extension - if, and only if, the Content-Type is multipart/mixed
and not multipart/octet-stream.

The former problem (internal viewer required) is understandable, the
latter (extensions for which there is a viewer will not be recognised)
needs improvement.
