Years ago, huh? Was it before Emacs added support for whitelisting file-local variables? These days you can't just place elisp in arbitrary files and have it get executed.
(Of course, propagating to other elisp files is both easy and completely orthogonal to Emacs, since you could do it in basically any language.)
- PaulHoule 12y agoThe same problem happened with Microsoft Word, which, in my mind, is a product a lot like Emacs. Emacs is written in a special dialect of LISP, Word is written in a special dialect of Visual Basic. Both have a mind-boggling array of features, etc. The difference was the Word viruses got a lot more fame because more people used Word.
