The OS/2 association is what is controlling this behavior.  I would
suggest that you get Henk Kelder's "Association Editor"  ASSOEDIT
(hobbes.nmsu.edu) and check the primary association of *.txt  or *txt  
files at the operating system level.   Or you can just trying opening the
file in question from the OS/2 desktop to see what is associated primarily
with that file type.   ASSOEDIT  will let you change the associations 
so that you're happy with them.

Email exchanged with BoB from SouthSide a few years ago made it
clear that PMMail/2 uses the OS/2 associations as much as possible
(and that's a *good* thing).
