I don't like this idea. The whole point of autosaves is that they are to a different file. If I `C-x C-s' and then delete a portion of a message I'm writing, I want to be able to revert-buffer back to the saved version. I don't want random autosaves to take away that ability. If this gets changed, at least make it optional. I think the main complaint people have about the current behaviour is that unwanted autosaves can stick around, e.g. when one does `C-c C-k'. Maybe in those situations Gnus could ask the user whether he/she wants the autosave file deleted? Or there could be a t/nil/ask variable to control this? Dan -- Dan Christensen jdc@math.jhu.edu
