It's because of the "text/x-ftx" part of that header, yes. Although, I
believe that the RFCs say that a client is supposed to assume plain text if
it sees a type of "text" and a subtype that it doesn't understand. In any case,
it's not just Microsoft clients that are getting confused by this, but
also Unix programs like mutt.
