That means in fact, that you are willing to put the same problem into all forums of the internet, which deals with text configuration files (nearly every tool on linux and osx is configured by a text configuration file), as the problem as always the same, "texteditor" does not produce plain text but rtf instead. So you want to put this problem into hundreds and thousands of forums, instead of putting it into the only right place, a forum about OSX and about texteditor, not to use texteditor for plain text configurations in rtf mode?! Wow!
Do you really believe, that this is the right way to handle this general problem of "texteditor"?

This is probably due to a completely different problem, as many MAC users behave as "Apple Fans" and they all believed into the bad ly, that everything is easy with Apple and everything is running out of the box with Apple and OSX of course is by far the best Operating System with no problems at all bla bla bla bla. But the the truth is different and you now have a clue, what the truth is: of course all that is a ly from Apple, they simply want to sell their stuff, but their fans did not expect to have any problems with any software. But when things are getting more difficult (like Webservers), MAC Users are at least the most helpless and clueless users of all three kinds OS (Windows, Linux, OSX). It is for sure, that MAC Users have by far the biggest problems to understand the concepts of their OS (including such things as text file formats, rights management, user management etc.).
