Luc, I said that I would do *exactly that* in the FIFTH message in the thread: "But this is not really important, I was just curious. For my own use it *is* an error to set overwrite-mode in a read-only buffer, so I'll defadvice around the issue." http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/73925 The rest is David (with a little help from Andreas) failing to convince me that I cannot possibly be confused when I do type in a read-only buffer (and, as a corollary, that no one could possibly be, or that if we are, that's illogical because No Harm Is Done). This discussion ceased to be about technical matters very soon, and turned into psychology of perception. Alas, I refuse to be told by others how I do perceive my environment :) Juanma
