That's true.  Some people are very secretive, though.  There should be
a way to specify the file permissions of the auto-saved dribble file.
One does not want people to know that one is reading
"comp.language.c++".  :-)

Hm.  Perhaps there is no way to do this in a straightforward manner?
Perhaps I could just write the dribble buffer to a file when I open
the buffer and set the file permissions then?  Yes, that should
work..
