Comment (by pulkomandy):
We don't use file extensions for this. In Preferences > Filetypes you can
see the sniffing rule used. Sniffing rules try to detect known patterns in
the file content to identify it. Unfortunately, there are files which are
difficult to detect this way, and HTML is one such case. If you share the
problematic file, we may be able to improve our sniffing rule to detect it
properly.
