It handles what Windows handles. In order it tries to do this:

1. Does the downloaded file have a known extension that Windows can handle? If so let the OS 
pick the viewer.
2. Does the gopher item type map to a known Windows app? If so launch the required app with 
the item as a param.
3. If all else fails, ask the user to pick a viewer app.

.txt and .gif/.jpg/.png are viewed internally.  You can override auto-viewing by right 
clicking on the item and selecting 'download' in the resulting Properties dialog.
