Verified on NT SP6 Workstation with all NeverShowExt values
removed from registry. I used an existing HTA file and just
added the extension. Side notes:

1) Right-clicking and selecting "rename" will not show the
   CLSID extension.

2) Type shows as "HTML Application" in detailed view and properties.

3) File doesn't show up in File dialog when trying to open it
   for editing in Notepad with "display all files selected". Had
   to create a shortcut which did show up in the File dialog and
   was editable.

4) Netscape Messenger 4.76 and Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6600 show
   attachment as something other than a simple .txt file depending
   upon how it was sent (send-to Messenger, send-to MAPI. File did
   not display in File dialog when trying to attach within mail
   client). Mulberry shows it as a .html.
