Are you serious? Why would he open a binary image file in Emacs without wanting to have it treated as an image, and without wanting to see it in hex? I don't see what is so funny about the question. At least some people (including Richard) are arguing that a user opening a file with a well-known binary image extension should not get an image view by default. And I ask why a user would open a binary image file in Emacs (short of using hexl-mode) if he did not intend to see it as an image? -- David Kastrup
