Did you try turning off "Automatically Detect Language and Encoding" under Options -> Language? In general, TXT files are hard to deal with because they come with no metadata. If all your TXT files are from one source you will be better off specifying the default language and encoding. If they come from multiple sources, using Calibre (say) to convert them to ePub may be your best bet - although time consuming.
