That's the intended behavior, since 'ebrowse' the program produces
files named by default EBROWSE, and that mode was programmed for those
files.

Wouldn't it be better to check that the file is infact a "ebrowse"
file using a file local variable though? And default to "text" if the
file in question is empty?
