That depends - MD won't open files for me because (as I understand it)
it asks Gnome about the mimetype and Gnome thinks MD should handle it,
but MD rejects the file and doesn't think it can. If the syntax
highlighting is also built on mimetype and also picks it up from the
Gnome bindings then it'd be two aspects of the same underlying issue.
