[emacs-wiki-discuss] Muse checks remote files

[Magnus Henoch]

I've had problems when I have included a link to a file on a remote
computer (through Tramp).  Muse tries to check whether the file exists
during fontification; Tramp asks for a password, but the prompt isn't
displayed, so I have to type the password blindly.

A more thorough analysis might be in order, but this patch fixes the
problem for me:
