To answer some questions. 1) emacs -q produces the strange behaviour 2) emacs -q -no-site-file does not. If I understand Maarten right, this points to a system-wide customization 3) I should mention that before 'destroying' my actual working file, emacs asks for the coding system, suggesting (default x-ctext). Normally, emacs suggests something intelligent, so I just hit enter. Maybe I thereby 'ask' emacs to destroy my file ... 4) The 5-line test file we were discussing is *not* being altered but only visualised strangely: first appearance is =C5 the second is \AA (characters backslash, A, A in verbatim). Note that Emacs does not ask for a coding system with the test file.. 5) in *Messages* we find indeed x-symbol (2nd last line) as David guessed. How do I stop x-symbol from being run ?
