It also may be nice to have just one <SNIP> OOPS! I meant 'magic info / "file" command AND the file name extension'. I AM tired! I am going to take a nap. As an example, Ethereal (Wireshark) doesn't put on an extension when you save in pcap (tcpdump) format on Linux (I think it should). But you better put ".trace" on the end of it when you send the file to somebody who uses MS Windows. They depend on the extension. I didn't pick that one randomly. That extension means at least six different things, showing just how important the magic data and the file command are. Even the PGP extension has multiple meanings: http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=pgp&Search=Search We are lucky with GPG (so far): http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=gpg&Search=Search There is nothing with extension ".openpgp".
