Open RTF files in Safari

I have to open RTF files every now and then, generally Read Me files for applications. But I don't like waiting for TextEdit to launch and then quitting it afterwards.

However, since I keep Safari open all the time, I have something much easier and quicker. Safari can read RTF files, so all I do is drag the file onto the Safari icon in the dock and it opens it right up, quickly and easily. It's much nicer than using TextEdit.

The only caveat is Safari can't read RTFD files, so if you have one of those you're stuck with TextEdit.
