Well, it probably will have to anyway.  And since this can be anything 
from easy to impossible I think we will need to have a way to choose the 
viewer and/or viewing properties anyway.

I understand.  But it's not really different to have a control "View 
as:" in the "Native" page, with choices like
- text
- rich text
- HTML
- PNG
- JPEG
- bitmap
- ...
instead of several pages that may or may not make sense for the current 
blob contents.

The dialog could even have two such controls, one for choosing the data 
type (text / HTML / image / ...), and the other with further settings 
for e.g. text (format, character set encoding or syntax highlighting) or 
images (format, colour depth, whatever).

Just throwing out ideas.

OK.  So this is a modal dialog?

Thanks
