Or a more tiresome but time honored method. Drag the file onto the
TextEdit icon if you want to open it as a text file. Drag the file onto
the Safari icon if you want it to open as HTML that Safari will render.
Drag the file onto the Firefox icon if you want to open it as HTML that
Firefox will render. Drag the file onto the iCab icon if you want to
open it as HTML that iCab will render. If the application won't accept
the file, It won't highlight when you drag the file onto it.
