In fact, I find the current issue of image auto-detection pretty silly. What we are trying to "fix" is when a user _ACTIVELY OPENS_ an image file with C-x C-f ... and in 99.99% of the time, the user will know perfectly what the file contains (after all, it is already installed on his own machine -- or from some trusted source -- where he will really want to view the image). In contrast, if someone sends me a JPEG image in an email, Gnus will happily show it to me without asking (at least with the settings I'm using). So where's the protection in that case? And so does Firefox - which happily shows images from sources which are by definition _untrusted_! IMO, let image files opened with C-x C-f be shown automatically as they did until recently. I don't even see a reason to be able to disable it. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
