File type misclassification

[David Kastrup <dak@gnu.org>]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Hi,

opening the following file in emacs-snapshot from Ubuntu Edgy
(sorry, I don't have a fresher CVS Emacs at work) will throw the
buffer into PostScript mode, presumably because it starts with "%!".
This seems rather like overkill.

Maybe it is already fixed in CVS: no idea.

%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

% Example of Greek input
%
\documentclass[a4paper,greek]{europecv}
%\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[10pt]{type1ec} % To use CB-Greek
\usepackage[greek,english]{babel} % This is mandatory
\usepackage{graphicx}
\ecvlastname{Επώνυμο}
\ecvfirstname{Όνομα}
\ecvaddress{Οδός, αριθμός, ταχυδρομικός κωδικός, πόλη, χώρα (Προαιρετικά, βλ. οδηγίες)}
\ecvtelephone{(Προαιρετικά, βλ. οδηγίες)}
\ecvfax{(Προαιρετικά, βλ. οδηγίες)}
\ecvemail{(Προαιρετικά, βλ. οδηγίες)}
\ecvnationality{(Προαιρετικά, βλ. οδηγίες)}
\ecvgender{(Προαιρετικά, βλ. οδηγίες)}
\ecvdateofbirth{\foreignlanguage{english}{You can use the Latin alphabet.}}

If emacs crashed, and you have the emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
