You can do this by adding the appropriate MIME type in the prefs for any
browser -- except Apple's Safari. :(
 
I use Mozilla and I just launched stack files from my Web site.  :(

Th MIME types are there somewhere, only it seems Apple didn't provide an
interface for editing them. There must be a way to hack this very basic
functionality -- anyone know how?  :\
