(y or n) _Every single time_. As I'm sure you can imagine, this is Very Annoying. This is due to the following code (use-hard-newlines 1 nil) in enriched-mode. I think the right thing to do would be to specify nil when the user types M-x enriched-mode in a buffer that was being edited outside enriched-mode, but not otherwise. If this question were asked when the buffer contains no hard newlines, would that work ok for you? Are you using hard newlines in that file?
