Why does Tramp open the file? Because Tramp has been instructed so? I suppose, following the above link results in (insert-file-contents "/me-ohc15rc7jgtnlxjtenl...@public.gmane.org:papers/current.pdf") This is remote file name syntax, and Tramp tries to do its job, using the default method "plink". You could avoid Tramp's reaction by a link like (untested) [[file:/:/me-ohc15rc7jgtnlxjtenl...@public.gmane.org:papers/current.pdf][paper]] Alternatively, you could choose another file name. > Best regards, > Seb Best regards, Michael.
