If the echo area automatically accomodates long messages, couldn't the
absolute file name for both the original backup and the fallback be
displayed?
Yes, nowadays that will work. I will make that change.
(message "Cannot write backup file %s; backing up in
%s"
backupname
(setq backupname (expand-file-name
(convert-standard-filename
"~/%backup%~"))))
To bury a setq inside a function call is potentially confusing;
better to keep it at top level where it is.
Thanks.
