My ssh session crashed, and I M-x recover-file to the file. But I had a copy of the file open, so I get an error like "can't work on the file". So I close the file and try to recover file it and no dice -- the recover file was deleted. A) Is there any way to get back my work? B) Is this a bug or was I just really dumb to open the file without recovering it? C) Is there a gnusgroup for bugs / CVS emacs so I don't need to bother people here?? Thanks, Dan
