Dunno whether or why it would be the reason for it to default to Lisp files by default in Emacs, but (IIRC) "ml" was the file extension for MockLisp files in Gosling Emacs. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

You might want to `M-x report-emacs-bug` and request for it to be removed, BTW. I can't remember ever seeing a `.ml` file that contained anything resembling Lisp, so that practice seems to predate my use of Emacs, which started around 1992.
