Is there a primer on "Oh, please, dear MULE, > don't destroy all my files"? Sure. First you send a bug report. That's what pretest is for. Next, never let emacs20 touch a file unless you (or your ISP) have made a backup of it. One simple implementation is to put this in ~/.emacs: (if (fboundp 'coding-system-get) (kill-emacs 1)) > How come XEmacs' MULE never had these problems? Maybe XEmacs doesn't insist that multibyte mode is Just Fine, and allows the user to turn it off once and for all? Like this new clever idea to run bytecomp in multibye mode by default even under -unibyte. -- Hallvard
