Is this intentional? Of course. When emacs is reading a single character of input, it does not respond to editing commands. yet C-h N addition hints that safe-local-variable-values should be updated with my change (somewhere?): The code seems to set safe-local-variable-values, then update .emacs to bring back the same value in future sessions. So if the value of safe-local-variable-values does not change, that is anomalous. If I kill the ~/.mailrc buffer and revisit it, I get prompted with the same *Local Variables* buffer scenario as the first time. Well, that shows ! failed to do its job. Can you debug it?
