Thanks.  Applied (c8f7e89d7).

Good question.  I'm not sure, though offhand I can't think of cases
where I'd want to send text/plain files to an external viewer.  I'd
guess this doesn't matter much in practice given the default position of

  (auto-mode . emacs)

in org-file-apps, which will catch a good number of text/plain files.
