I put the following in my ~/.emacs as per Emacs wiki[1] and do M-x
load-file ~/.emacs:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.bz2\\'" . fundamental-mode))

But, Emacs still decompresses the fake .bz2 file resulting in a blank
screen. So, I think the decompression happens before auto-mode can even
do something.

Thanks.
