If you receive a file with Content-Type: text/html TB! will show the
icon of the browser you have as default browser.

Apparently it does "find" the association. It finds the correct icons
for a lot of attachements. That TB! doesn't know what to do with them is
something else. As far as I can see it will only show tabs for TXT and
JPG files, is this preprogrammed?

I'm  still puzzled why TB! find some associations and some not and I
think that it would be a nice feature if you could tell TB! that certain
extensions are plain text just as *.TXT
