(setq interpreter-mode-alist (delete (assoc "sh" interpreter-mode-alist) interpreter-mode-alist)) (but #!/bin/sh scripts without filename extensions, which are numerous, will no longer be opened in sh-mode). I don't know what the reason is for giving interpreter-mode-alist the highest priority (above magic-mode-alist as well). The only reference I can find is: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2004-10/msg00215.html which just says "I feel this [the old behaviour] to be wrong", with no examples.
