Emacs' file-type recognition (and Emacs in general) is intended to be useful in _practice_, and part of that is gracefully handling slight mistakes on the part of users even when such action is "wrong" by a pedantic reading of some standard. I don't know whether it's common for people to add non-standard stuff after the %! in postscript headers (I always just use a plain "%!" in my hand-written postscript files), but on balance, Emacs' behavior in this case seems not unreasonable. -miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
