Tough. That's what "editing" means. I don't want changes saved without my saying so: that might end up the file in a terminally ill state, like when I cut out a large region for the purpose of pasting it somewhere else, and then Emacs shuts down. Recovering a session is good enough for me. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
