To be brief .md file stands for 'MarkDown' and it is a markup language. More info is available on Wikipedia
I recently began to use .md file as a Readme file in my torrents. Though I can use .txt but .md is more consistent and reliable for me, since it is a markup language. (Previously I was using .jpeg files)
Hope you have latest version of firefox or chrome installed. This method will work on all OS with Chrome or Firefox installed. (Personally, I checked on Windows with Chrome and Firefox installed)
Viewing on Firefox:
Just install a add-on named 'Markdown Viewer' or Click here
*Restart Firefox
*Open New tab
*Drag .md file anywhere (Don't drag outside of firefox )
Viewing on Chrome:
In Chrome webstore search for add-on named 'Markdown Viewer' or Click here
*Install it
*Go to extensions page and Check 'Allow access to file urls' (This will allow this addon to render .md files which are saved locally)
*Open New tab
*Drag .md file anywhere (Don't drag outside of Chrome , I know you didn't laugh this time)
Done

The text/markdown registration specifies the charset parameter as “Required.” Therefore using a content-type of text/markdown is technically invalid, and the character set of such content may legitimately be interpreted as any of undefined, invalid, US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, or the UTF-8 that in practice it will almost always be.
