See the doc string of browse-url-filename-alist: it's for ange-ftp
support. It aims at transparently supporting file names like
/anonym@bs2000.anywhere.com:/:X:/IMPORTANT.TEXT.ON.BS2000. Now you
tell me how should browse-url distinguish that from the file name the
OP shows in this bug report?
> Ideas?
Since browse-url-of-dired-file knows it is operating on a local file,
it could simply bind browse-url-filename-alist to some value (nil?)
that would disable the offending translations. Would that work?
