Comment:

 Okay -- I think I found where I went wrong. The Browse page on the wiki
 shows the method of opening in Write from the Journal, but the images are
 old and from pre-joyride builds, so the layout of the Journal is different
 in the builds I've encountered this issue on.

 The menu I needed was on the left-hand side (not the right as in the
 images), and the drop-down menu for the file's icon (the one I used)
 didn't provide options either -- the source of my confusion.

 In any case, files downloaded from the "View Source" command should have
 their default MIME-type set to Write (or some equivalent) rather than
 Browse. If a user is trying to view the source of a page, they sure don't
 want to just open up the file and have it render as a webpage -- they
 wouldn't be trying to view the source if they wanted that!

 Closing the ticket.
