Well, I don't know what brought it on, but I have an idea of how to fix it - go to the Edit->Preferences menu in netscape, then go into for Navigator->Applications (you may have to click on the little triangle next to Navigator). Then, select "Plain Text" in dialog box (it's likely all the way at the bottom). Notice that it's not set up to be handled by Netscape. Edit the type and select the "Navigator" option button in the "Handled by..." group. My; describing how to do something in a GUI is painful - it's so much easier to say "change line 432 to... in the such-and-such file".
