Howdy,

One more thing... I see nothing in Aquamacs that should force it's icon onto the item. 

Could you look in ~/Library/Spotlight and /Library/Spotlight to see if you have a TeX.mdimporter there? TeXShop has one built in so it isn't needed outside and can be removed. That might fix up the ``OPen With'' problem.

Good Luck,
