I do get a tabbed window (as you call it) for *.txt attachments but not for *.log. I don't think there is any way of telling TB to use a tabbed window for *.log attachments. If you don't want to get the warning for *.log, go to Options -> Preferences -> Warnings and include *.log in the "Enable opening of these files without any alert" window. In my system (Win2000) I have *.txt and *.log files associated with TexPad (my preferred text editor) and it opens just fine when I double click on a *.txt or *.log attachment. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
