Answering my own question: I asked on #galeon on irc.gimp.net, and Galeon =
=20
ignores file extensions and only pays attention to MIME types. My GNOME =20
settings were configured to accept text/x-tex as a TeX file, and the web =
=20
server at the other end was sending me application/x-tex.

T he lesson here is to look on the internet and figure out what the correct=
 =20
MIME type is when you set up a file association =20
(http://www.utoronto.ca/ian/books/html4ed/appb/mimetype.html and =20
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types appear =
=20
to be good sites for this) and to be ready to configure all of the other =
=20
possibilities if different web servers send out different MIME types.

I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures.
