It says: Note that auto-save file will not be deleted if the buffer is killed when it has unsaved changes. I hope this is a doc bug. If this were implemented, you'd be prompted about unsaved changes when killing a buffer, and then again about recovering the unsaved changes every time you opened the same file until you deleted the autosave file. That is just annoying, and has nothing to do with crash recovery (which is what autosave is protecting against). -- matt
