      Well - I never use windows to open those files.  Most windows editors will just make a mess of them.
      I usually just put the file on my ubuntu desktop, right click it and open it with gedit.

      Then I select all and copy / paste the contents to where ever I want.

        On windows i usually install "notepad++" since it doesn't destroy the files when opening.
        (Contrary to some windows native editors).

            I'll add it to my PortableApps thumbdrive I keep handy for when I'm forced to go slumming on a windows machine  :)

            Its in their repo - I added it.
