List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: quimby.gnus.org gmane.emacs.devel:1035 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:1035 * The "Truncate Long Lines in This Buffer" option now set the default value, instead of the buffer specific value, which mean the name is misleading. However, the old code attempted to save the value, and you can't save a buffer specific value. So either the name should be changed, or we should not save the variable. Opinions? I think it is more useful, for this specific option, to set it only for the current buffer. Which means it should not be saved at all. The only argument for setting and saving the default value is consistency with the other menu items. But I tend to think that is not a strong enough argument to outweigh the greater utility of setting this particular option buffer-locally. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
