Yes, create/edit the file ~/.config/geany/filetype_extensions.conf and
add/edit the following content:

[Extensions]
C=*.c;
C++=*.cpp;*.cxx;*.c++;*.cc;*.h;*.hpp;*.hxx;*.h++;*.hh;*.C;*.h;

this will overwrite the default filetype extensions for C and C++ and
moves *.h from the filetype C to C++.
Downside of this is that *all* header files will now be opened as C++.

P.S.: either my mail client is broken or your mail is sent in a strange
way. It has the text in the text/html part but an empty text/plain part
which caused me some troubles in getting the quoted text into my
answer :(. But it could also be my mail client.
At least I thought if a mail is sent with some HTML code, the
text/plain part should contain a *plain text* version for those of us
who don't like HTML in emails...
