If you add an autocmd in ftplugin and buffer's context it would probably
be better idea to add buffer-local autocmd:
augroup MyShinyGroup
autocmd! * <buffer> " Remove possible previous ones
autocmd! WhateverEvent <buffer> [...]
augroup END
Or maybe conditionally:
if expand('%:t:e') == 'eml'
augroup MyShinyGroup
autocmd! * <buffer>
autocmd! WhateverEvent <buffer> [...]
augroup END
endif
Buffer-local autocmds in filetype plugins are usually necessary because
user may edit several files of same filetype.
But...

...in your case I think autocmds are not useful. Just have the ftplugin
check that this is the right kind of file and modify the buffer.
