Hello!

I have a few XeTeX files (from dired):

When the cursor is on Will-Test.tex, XeLaTeX-Bruch.tex, or  
XeTeX-Zeilenabstand.tex and I press v the buffer opened is in  
PostScript view mode. When the cursor is on XeTeX-notes.tex it opens  
correctly in PDFLaTeX mode. The other three XeTeX files have a header  
for the TeXShop application à la:

        %!TEX TS-program = xelatex
        %!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

or

        %!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

I think a PostScript file does not start with %!TEX ...
