Would you like to send me offlist the output of the command

Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister - 
dump > list.txt

(just the file list.txt). I use QLColorCode.qlgenerator plugin and now  
everything works. I wonder what may take over the TeXShop definition  
on your mac.

Michael, thanks, ever so much for pursuing this with me. (Sorry ab out  
the blocked message.) Now I don't have to send you the text files.  
Until I read your message, I didn't know how to get a text file copy  
of a dump from the command line, so I have just been using the  
primitive Command F to search in the terminal. I made a text file  
(which btw is encoded in Western (Mac OS Roman)) before and after a  
rebuild of launch services database and found the culprit. In /Library/ 
Spotlight under the auspices of com.apple.local-library (0x800162a8)  
there was another TeX.mdimporter which must have come back with the  
archive and install of Leopard. Since TeX.mdimporter is now located in  
the TeXShop package contents, I trashed this one and I have no  
problems with Quick Look. Thanks again to everyone who has made  
suggestions along the way.
