Finder Text Document Preview



When using Finder windows using View as Columns and the view options are set to show preview column the document icon will display the first few sentences of the document. I find this very useful. I have my project folders named after their project ID and have a text file in each folder named "! about this project". The first five lines of this file always looks like this:

Contact: name
phone: number
fax: number
email: address
job: description

Previously I created this file in TextWrangler and the system worked. Recently I began generating this file via Applescript and the system no longer works because there is no text preview. If I edit the file with TextWrangler and save it the preview appears.

Is there a setting that I can control which will allow me to get the file to display the preview?
