[TxMt] best practice for changing markdown back as default for .txt?

[Brad Miller]

Tom,

I agree with you.  I use markdown for a number of things myself and  
most of my .txt files are really markdown.

Here is a hint that Allan sent out to the Bundle Developers list  
after I erroneously committed a change to the markdown language that  
caused it to claim text files.

So far its worked great for me.
