Yes I know. The question is: Is it possible to influence which styles
imported files (such as ReadMe files) will contain when they are
opened for the first time in NWP? In Nisus Classic it was possible by
editing the file called "Nisus Text Stationery". Now, since there is
no such file in NWP, it seems that *all* imported text files are
opened in NWP with a fixed, minimal default set of styles. This means
in other words, I have to import my own styles from my style library
every time I need my styles. It's a bit inconvenient, but I can live
with that.
What really surprised me was that I found one of my own NWP styles
incorporated in a file that I had just saved from Apple Mail and
opened in Nisus. This shouldn't have been possible according to the
assumption I expressed above. I can reproduce this so this is not a
single weird behavior.

This is by no means restricted to Apple Mail. This affects *all*
imported files (except those of course that were deliberately created
with certain styles, such as MS Word files with styles or Nisus files
with customized styles.)
I have now just selected randomly a ReadMe file on my hard disk that
came with SuperDuper. When I open this ReadMe file in NWP and click
on the Style Sheet button in Nisus I see the above mentioned minimal
set of default styles + one style that I created myself and which I
keep in my style library!
I hope my description does not sound all too confusing. :-)
