Sorry I can't understand the problem.
Probably you have symlink that have a different name, for example without
diff.gz in which case a different handler will be used to view the file
contents.
This is expected and actually quite useful: imagine you want to inspect .patch
or .diff file using MC but as we know some packages have patches in
debian/patches without \.(patch|diff) extension so direct inspection won't
work. To override you can make a symlink, for example
fix_ftbfs --> fix_ftbfs.patch
and then inspect "fix_ftbfs.patch" symlink to get desirable result.
Does it make sense?
