I have the following in my .emacs file to prevent such things: ;;; For security reasons, to prevent odd little inclusion in files from ;;; causing harm... (setq enable-local-eval nil) (setq enable-local-variables nil) I *think* recent versions of emacs have these off by default. When set, you can embed Lisp code in documents that is executed when you open it up. Considering that Emacs is practically an operating system unto itself, there isn't much you can't do with an Emacs macro. Unless you actually use this feature, it's much better to turn it off.
