It seems like inappropriate file extensions (either those suggesting a different major mode, or those suggesting nothing at all) would be a good indicator. I didn't believe this before, and I don't believe it now. There is no rational reason to assume that an extension of .jpg means the file can't do harm. Most users do NOT feel suspicious of files on account of a name ending in .jpg. If indeed it is safe to open images if and only if their extensions say they are images, the reason would have to be something more subtle than what people have said here so far.
