I don't know but I'm looking for something like that as
well. I was thinking about a function that iterates over
all ~/.emacs.d/auto-save-list files that are not of the cur-
rent Emacs process, iterates over all filenames in those, if
for one of those filenames there is an auto-save file, vis-
its the first one or, if there is none, deletes that
~/.emacs.d/auto-save-list file.
The UI flow would be to call the function and deal with the
first file, lather, rinse, repeat. As a Gnus user there
would be need to be an exception for ~/.newsrc.dribble~
which Gnus handles itself.
