Today a new user complained to me Emacs won't save text properties (TP)
(yes, the manual explains at length).
Proposal: When a user adds TPs to a plain text file Emacs must ask the
user whether he also wants to save TPs and if yes, Emacs can add the
enriched magic please.
I hope it is clear what I want to say.

You mean, without the user entering Enriched mode?

Making Emacs save text properties in a useful way calls for a
substantial amount of work--just asking some questions is not enough
by itself. Would you like to help work on it?

It's a start. If Emacs detects text properties in fundamental mode
recommending to switch to enriched mode (M-x enriched-mode RET) could
help; plus a link to the manual. More isn't needed make the user pay
attention.

Personally I'm more interested in other areas (psgml and DocBook
resp. TEI support using speedbar; improving the usability of
po-mode.el). Since my knowledge in programming is rather limited, it
takes time. I think it will help to forward reports of new users (it
hard to convince them to write reports on their own).
