Hi Jeremy,

A little bit confusing, partly my fault.

I entered txt/css instead of text/css which gave "unreadable" styles, like 
when there is no type at all.

But text/css is not in the list of type to be selected. Mario said: Add it 
manually.
But there is a Plain text (text/plain) entry in the type list which gives 
the same result.
Both text/css and text/plain do show the styles in "readable" form.

Is there a difference in types between text/css and text/plain?
If there is no difference, change the type to "Plain text (text/css)" That 
will be less confusing.

Cheers,

Ton
