I would like to use some abbrev table for one file only.
The table is defined in my .emacs. I tried to put in the file
-*- abbrev-mode: t; local-abbrev-table: my-abbrev-table -*-
When the file is loaded, abbreviation mode is activated,
but my table is not recognized. If I then evaluate
(setq local-abbrev-table my-abbrev-table)
then it works.
How can I specify which abbrev table should be loaded in the file itself ?

I think the problem is, that the values of file-local-variables
are not evaluated. This in effect assigns the symbol `my-abbrev-table'
to the variable `local-abbrev-table' rather than its value
(the actual table).
One way of fixing it is using the special eval form
-*- eval: (setq local-abbrev-table my-abbrev-table); abbrev-mode: t -
*-
and adding this form (and forms for other table-symbols you plan to
use in this way) to `safe-local-eval-forms'.
(push '(setq local-abbrev-table my-abbrev-table) safe-local-eval-
forms)
-ap

That works, thanks.
