Ok I did a little bit testing and tracked down the problem. The files
aren't recognized as textfiles any more if they contain german umlauts.
hmm... wait a minute...yes, it seems that the problem are 128bit
characters. The file... command always recognizes either ascii or
international language text.

If I find some time I will take a closer look into it, but I have
unfortunately very few right now, because I have exams soon.
