Of course they do: what do you think is that text you are looking at > after M-x recover-file? Err. I should express myself better. I meant that with C-x C-f I can compare the file with its autosave file. M-x recover-file RET asks me whether I want to recover a file, but doesn't show me the contents. Or is there a feature I missed that will show me the differences between a file and its autosave? (Then I guess that Emacs and my system are too stable: I recover files very very rarely. :-) kai -- Silence is foo!
