What version of Wine? From where (compiled, installed binaries)?

Well, if Newsbin uses the registry, try running regedit, click on 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\.txt (assuming it exists), and see if the default 
value is "txtfile".

Then in 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Classes\\txtfile\\shell\\open\\command 
there should be:
@="c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe %1"
