But I still suggest that a bit more detail might help to focus our
attention on a solution.

First suggestion: Go to Associations in one of the HTMLs and look at it.
Does it show Text/HTML or Plain Text? If only plain text does it mean that
SO looks at the *.HTM? extension to assert its behaviour?

Second suggestion: What if you were to remove the association AND THEN
IMMEDIATELY CLICK UNDO? We have found that some text files created from
templates are bothersome. When we do this, we recover ALL the associations
for text files which we have established (about 8 I think).
 
Third suggestion: report this to SO/Sun as a bug or trawl their support
web site/s for information on the problem.
