with, for example, the following which I had previously written in
this thread:
| I don't want this situation to be possible in Emacs:
|
| I receive a file foo.c in an email, save it to disk and open it in
| Emacs, knowing that the .c type is opened in cc-mode which is safe.
| To my horror, the file actually contains an evil .jpg file which
| causes a buffer overflow in the jpg library; when it's displayed it
| infects my machine with a virus.
That is pointing out how the choice to display disguised images as
images can lead to bad results.
