(It could be that you need a sufficiently large mbox file, to > trigger this.) OK, this I can reproduce. With Richard's changes, the auxilliary buffer containing the mbox data is auto-saved, but this buffer does *not* contain the text that's being edited in the RMAIL buffer. So nothing's gained in this case. To fix this case, the annotation functions might detect that rmail-edit is in effect, and DTRT so that only the presently edited message is auto-saved. But it seems that Richard's concern is with rmail-output, not rmail-edit.
