I have not been able to find a way to get rid of this "imported" highlighting, other than killing the buffer and revisiting the file, which is pretty annoying. E.g. "M-x fundamental-mode" won't do it. Is there a simpler way of getting rid of this unwanted highlighting (or of avoiding it in the first place)? TIA!
