We are not talking about Emacs trusting a file. We are talking about letting the _user_ make an informed decision what he considers ok to do with the file. When the user tells Emacs "open this JPEG file", and Emacs would not open it as a JPEG file, it should tell the user that it is going to attempt something different. -- David Kastrup
