Date: Sun, 01 Feb 2009 17:48:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1LTl7F-00057o-7k@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <uab97e1c0.fsf@gnu.org> (message from Eli Zaretskii on Sat, 31 Jan 2009 21:13:03 +0200)
In an Rmail buffer, type "C-x C-s" to save it: you will almost never
see the usual "Saving file FOO..." message, because buffer-soze,
called by save-buffer, returns the size of the current message, not of
the entire message collection.
The clean way to fix this is with something like `buffer-swapped-with'.
I did not remember the existence of this feature when I recommended
implementing `buffer-swapped-with', so I can't really say "I told you
so." But there is a general tendency that these sorts of features
need to be checked and acted on in various places in the code, and
most of them don't have any hooks.
