It doesn't seem to be based on the file type. What > determines this? >>From the "Auto-Save Files" node in emacs info: When you delete a substantial part of the text in a large buffer, auto save turns off temporarily in that buffer. This is because if you deleted the text unintentionally, you might find the auto-save file more useful if it contains the deleted text. To reenable auto-saving after this happens, save the buffer with `C-x C-s', or use `C-u 1 M-x auto-save'. Regards, David V.
