(I presume you run one-buffer-one-frame-mode, that is, "Display
Buffers in Separate Frames" is on in the Options menu.)

To fit a frame, the `fit-frame' function needs to see the buffer
contents.

When you type C-x C-f, a new frame is opened, and then you are allowed
to enter the name of the file to be loaded. This means that the `after-
make-frame-functions' are run _before_ the file is loaded. The  idea
of using `after-make-frame-functions' is thus a kludge: it assumes
that the frame is created after the file has been loaded. This is easy
to see if you actually watch watch's happening when you press C-x C-f.
As further hint: `fit-frame' works fine when you find files from the
"Recent Files" menu.

If you enter C-h k C-x C-f, you find that C-x C-f is bound to
`aquamacs-find-file' in Aquamacs. That's something we can leverage.
So, my solution is this (in addition to the code Drew suggested):

(defadvice aquamacs-find-file (after fit activate)
  (fit-frame))

if you add that to your ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/
Preferences.el, `fit-frame' is called after each (interactive)
aquamacs-find-file operation.

Does that work for you?

Maybe we'll add an option for users to easily enable frame fitting in
such a situation - I think that'd be nice.

Can you substantiate that? What else have you tried with respect to
support? Notice the support options on the website.
