:autocmd Filetype netrw echom "Greetings from netrw"

Following autocmd Filetype does not trigger when I enter a netrw window

:autocmd Filetype netrw echom "Greetings from netrw"

I have tried following minimal approach:

$ vim -C -u NONE
:so $VIMRUNTIME/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
:autocmd Filetype netrw echom "Greetings from netrw"
:E .
:messages

I miss the message from my autocommand.

What am I doing wrong?
