+** Emacs cannot load remote files using Tramp during init.
+
+Currently, Tramp-style names for remote files are not recognized if
+they occur in site-start and init files, because Tramp filename
+handlers are registered during after-init-hook.
+
+If you want to access remote files inside an init file, first add the
+following line:
+
+  (tramp-register-file-name-handlers)
